Description
xProduct Overview
The Genuine Mercedes-Benz Transmission Shaft Oil Seal Ring 229979247 is the original radial shaft seal for your Mercedes-Benz transmission, made to the factory specification. It sits around a rotating transmission shaft and keeps the gearbox oil inside the casing while keeping road dirt and moisture out, a small seal whose failure quickly turns into oil loss, contaminated internals, and expensive transmission damage.
Part Numbers & Reference Codes
OE part number: 229979247 (short form, as listed). The same seal is catalogued in full Mercedes-Benz format as 0229979247 (A0229979247), described simply as “SHAFT SEAL” in the Mercedes-Benz parts catalogue. Always order and verify by the exact part number to ensure you receive the correct original seal for your transmission.
Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment
Shaft seals are specified by transmission type, shaft position, and production date, and the same transmission family can use several different seals. This seal ring is a genuine Mercedes-Benz OE component; confirm it matches your exact vehicle and gearbox by sharing your VIN with our parts team before ordering, and we will verify fitment against the factory catalogue.
Key Features & Benefits
- Exact OE dimensions: bore, outside diameter, and width made to the factory specification for its housing and shaft.
- Factory-specified sealing lip: lip material and spring loading selected for continuous contact with the rotating shaft in hot transmission oil.
- Keeps oil in, dirt out: a sound seal protects the gearbox from the oil starvation and contamination that follow a leaking shaft seal.
- Prevents repeat strip-downs: fitting the genuine seal while the transmission is open avoids reopening the casing for a failed pattern seal.

Installation Position & Fitment Notes
This seal ring presses into its transmission housing bore around the shaft it seals. The housing bore and shaft surface must be clean and undamaged, the seal driven in squarely to the correct depth with a suitable drift, and the lip lightly lubricated with clean transmission oil before the shaft passes through it. A seal fitted crooked or with a nicked lip will leak from the first mile. Fitment should be confirmed by VIN before ordering.

Technician's Advisory: Shaft seals fit one housing bore and one shaft diameter: confirm both before pressing the seal home, fit it square with the sealing lip facing the oil side, and lubricate the lip on assembly. Check the shaft journal for scoring, as a worn shaft will leak past a new seal.

FAQs
xFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. The 229979247 is a genuine Mercedes-Benz OE part — the original transmission shaft oil seal ring produced to the factory specification, catalogued in full format as 0229979247. It is not an aftermarket reproduction, so the bore, lip profile, and sealing material all match the original seal your transmission was built with.
Shaft seals are specified by transmission type, shaft position, and production date, so the part number alone is not enough. Send our parts team your complete VIN and tell us which shaft is leaking, and we will verify the 229979247 against the Mercedes-Benz factory catalogue for your exact vehicle before you buy.
Look for transmission oil weeping or dripping around the shaft exit, oil sprayed across the underside of the casing, a falling gearbox oil level, and in later stages harsh shifting or slipping as the transmission runs low on oil. A leaking seal only gets worse, so replace it before oil loss damages the gearbox.
No. A radial shaft seal is a single-use part: removal distorts the casing fit and the sealing lip takes a set against the shaft, so a refitted seal rarely seals again. The genuine 229979247 costs little compared with opening the transmission twice, so always fit the new seal whenever the joint is disturbed.
This brand-new genuine part is covered against manufacturing defects, and your statutory consumer rights apply in the UAE. If it arrives damaged, or is incorrect due to our error, we will replace or refund it. We recommend VIN verification before ordering — contact us with your VIN first if you are unsure.
