Wix 58987 Transmission Filter Kit

Transmission Filter Kit for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche

Wix 58987 is an automatic transmission filter kit built for select Mercedes-Benz and Porsche applications. It uses application-specific filtration media and sealed construction to help keep unfiltered fluid from bypassing the filter, supporting cleaner transmission fluid flow in demanding service intervals.

Compatible with Mercedes-Benz E320, Mercedes-Benz 300E, and Porsche 928 applications, this transmission filter kit is a direct-fit service part for many late-1980s through mid-1990s vehicles. The Wix 58987 is also cross-referenced to ACDelco TF288 for the same application.

Key Features

• Automatic transmission filter kit for light-duty service applications
• Application-specific filtration media helps capture contaminants in transmission fluid
• Lock-seamed and sealed assembly helps prevent bypass around the filter element
• Includes sealing gaskets designed for modern transmission fluids
• Closed inner diameter top and automatic transmission filter style
• Wix part number 58987 for select Mercedes-Benz and Porsche vehicles

Detailed Description

Wix 58987 is engineered as a transmission service kit for vehicles that require precise fluid filtration and reliable sealing. The filter construction is designed so fluid passes through the media rather than around it, while the included sealing components support a proper service seal during transmission maintenance. This makes it a practical choice for owners servicing Mercedes-Benz 190E, 300E, 300SE, 560SEL, and Porsche 928 models, among other listed applications.

For fitment-focused searches, this part is commonly selected for Mercedes-Benz E320 transmission filter replacement, Mercedes-Benz 300D automatic transmission service, and Porsche 928 transmission filter kit applications. The Wix 58987 part number is also used in OE-style replacement searches for older Mercedes-Benz and Porsche drivetrains.

What It Helps Address

• Dirty or degraded transmission fluid filtration
• Service replacement for a worn or clogged transmission filter
• Fluid bypass caused by poor sealing at the filter assembly
• Transmission maintenance on older Mercedes-Benz and Porsche vehicles
• Leak-prone service intervals where correct gasket sealing matters

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission model and OE part number before installation, especially on vehicles with multiple service configurations. Clean the pan and mating surfaces thoroughly, and inspect the gasket surfaces for damage before reassembly. Use the correct transmission fluid specified for the vehicle, since WIX sealing components are designed for today’s sophisticated transmission fluids.
