Description
The component is made from reinforced plastic. It protects the seals of the transfer case from external contaminants, thereby ensuring a longer lifespan for them.
What is the purpose of a slinger in a BMW transfer case?
A slinger acts as a protective shield for the transfer case seals. It is designed to deflect external contaminants like dust, mud, and water away from the seal area, preventing grit from causing premature wear or leaks.
Will this slinger fit my BMW X5 with an ATC500 transfer case?
Yes, this slinger is specifically compatible with the ATC500 (found in X5 E53), as well as the ATC450 and ATC700 models used in various BMW X-series vehicles. It is a direct fit for these specific units.
Why is this component made of reinforced plastic instead of metal?
Reinforced plastic provides excellent durability and is completely resistant to corrosion. Unlike metal slingers, it won’t rust over time, ensuring that it remains smooth and effective at protecting your seals throughout the life of the vehicle.
Can a broken slinger cause my transfer case to leak oil?
Indirectly, yes. If the slinger is cracked or missing, dirt and debris can reach the shaft seal. This grit eventually grinds down the sealing surface, leading to oil leaks and potential internal damage to the transfer case if left unattended.
Do I need special tools to install this on an ATC450 or ATC700?
While no highly specialized “slinger tool” is required, you will need to remove the output flange to install it. It is highly recommended to replace the slinger whenever you are changing the transfer case seals to ensure maximum protection for the new parts.
