B5 Passat Automatic Gearbox Sump Gasket - 1996-05 (5 Speed, 5HP19FL Gearboxes)

This automatic gearbox sump gasket is designed for 5-speed 5HP19FL automatic transmissions used in VW Passat B5 and B5.5 (Facelift) models from 1996 to 2005 and in VW Phaeton models from April 2002 to March 2016. Made from high-quality compressed fibre paper, this gasket ensures a secure seal between the gearbox sump and the transmission housing, critical for retaining transmission fluid and pressure integrity.

Paper gaskets like this are traditionally used in ZF-type transmissions and offer reliable sealing performance under both high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, while still allowing easy removal and replacement during routine servicing.

This gasket is an essential part of any ATF change or sump service procedure and helps protect the gearbox from leaks and contamination.
