Restore Smooth Shifting with Our ZF Transmission Main Valve Body Seal

If your BMW is experiencing delayed or inconsistent shifting, a worn valve body seal could be the root cause. This high-quality replacement seal is designed specifically for ZF 6-speed automatic transmissions, helping to restore proper hydraulic pressure and smooth transmission performance—without needing a full rebuild kit.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves Shift Quality & Response: Replaces your worn or leaking main seal to eliminate sluggish gear changes.
  • Restores Internal Fluid Pressure: Helps maintain proper hydraulic flow by sealing critical valve body passages.
  • Prevents Long-Term Damage: Stops minor leaks before they lead to major transmission issues.
  • Cost-Effective Fix: Ideal for targeted repairs when a full kit isn’t necessary.

Fitment: Compatible with BMW models equipped with ZF 6HP19 and 6HP21 transmissions including:

Important Note: This is a high-quality aftermarket part, fully compatible with ZF transmissions, but not an official ZF product. Always note that:

  • BMW alternated between ZF and GM automatics in some years; please check the transmission tag or send us your VIN—we’ll confirm before you buy.”

  • Recommended to replace with pan/filter and mechatronic sleeve during service.
