722.6 Nag1 transmission mod + repairs, conductor plate, service, program plate W210 E300td

[@jasoncampbell4723]

The fact that your trying to engineer a manual valve body for that trans kind of blows my mind !!! Seriously! Well done Luke!

[@finlay230]

10/10 for the manual valve body on the 722.6, thats a game changer !!!!

[@grigoryk6401]

I just replaced it with new one "from the box". After 450k it still was ok, but i got lucky, and i found a totally new gearbox in Mercedes box that was lying in a warehouse and no one needed it. I buy it, replaced front oil seal, thrust of the gear lock, main connector, and filter. Fill it with Fuch oil, make an run about 500km, and again replaced the oil and filter. So now my 25year old Benz got an brand new gear box for next 450K :)

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

This is quality content. Very interesting and informative, and exactly like working in a well run workshop with experienced techs and good support. Well done, thanks for sharing and teaching us how it's done.

[@curvedbearclaw]

The world is still good as long as you're producing videos.

[@TheGalifrey]

Just managed to pick up a '99 S210 300TD Elegance Estate in Champagne Colour for 1500 Euros, your 210 videos were the inspiration for this choice! Sure I will be making some orders over the next few months 😁

[@RANDASH]

Hey, I'm the creator of the ultimate-nag52 project...during my research, I've found there are actually 2 valve bodies for the 722.6 (blue/brown top solenoids have no effect in this regards), 7700mbar peak body, and 9700mbar peak body (only fitted to 113k and V12 cars). If you want a massive upgrade in what the gearbox can take without upgrading clutches, install the higher pressure valve body

[@RANDASH]

To add to this, all the blue top solenoids do (there is a ton of bad info on the internet), is react faster to current changes, thus, allow for a faster ramp in pressure due to their stronger valve springs, but they do not create higher pressure, they just allow for more rapid changes in pressure

[@DrZoidbergism]

There also are Versions with and without tcc dampener valve. What is the exact difference between the two valve body's?

[@RANDASH]

@@DrZoidbergism yes, tcc damper valve is added to later revisions of both body's, but it doesn't affect the operation of the unit from the TCUs POV. the differences I'm talking about allow for higher working pressure. This is how the early 580 units were mated to a V12, which would output far more than 580nm of torque. It has stronger regulator springs inside, so it creates higher working pressure on the applied clutches. Swapping these 2 valve bodies without coding the tcu would be unpredictable as the pressure curve is different (X amount of current to the solenoids yields Y amount of pressure)

[@rokasbaltusnikas6065]

@@RANDASH So as far as I understand, if I just put on a whole valve body from m113k car (p/n. A 240 270 01 06) to my w210 om606 gearbox 722.608, and use NAG52 Controller, I won't have to deal with all the v8 transmission swap fuss? And how much torque theoretically could hold such a frankenstein like 722.608 from om606 with valvebody from m113k?

[@RANDASH]

@@rokasbaltusnikas6065 your probably just better off swapping the whole gearbox, .608 is very old, and a lot of parts have been superseded by stronger components. That said, I wouldn't know exactly how much torque it can hold, since I'm yet to reverse engineer EGS51 (which .608 only came with). There are maps on the TCU for max load with a given pressure, but when I find them I'll respond to this comment :)

[@MatthewDoughten]

I am not planning on doing this anytime soon but I just enjoy the content. Luke's great on cam and could host a garage show.

[@danny_playswithcars]

Did a video a while ago on the FCP Euro channel that got into the blue top solenoids, which I did on my own car (a W208 with a 5.4L/722.636 swap). I will say, driving the car untuned and with no modifications other than the solenoids, the shifts were noticeably firmer than stock. Not jarring, but were more decisive to the point that subframe bushings moved up the priority list quickly on my 232k-mile chassis. When I eventually went to the OFGear standalone TCM, it HATED the blue top solenoids. The factory brown-tops paired with the OFGear was the secret sauce for someone who wanted to abandon the luxuries and comforts the 722.6 provides and instead wants the fastest shifts possible. Excellent video. Having done more or less this same job myself, even I learned a thing or two when it came to the valve body balls

[@angavi2000]

So what’s your conclusions about ?

[@danny_playswithcars]

I'd recommend the blue tops, but I'd recommend pairing them with a TCM tune meant for them. Some folks were concerned about the shift pressures being too high with them back in the day...I think that's a load of nonsense, but regardless, it is always wise to tune for modifications and hardware changes. Do the blue tops, but get a trans tune. And DEFINITELY do the OFGear, it was awesome. Just stick with the standard brown solenoids if your car came with them.

[@bobandrews2328]

Along with trans-service, ( filter&fluid) I've always flushed as much fluid from the torque converter as possible without an active flush system. I simply remove and replace one liter at a time at the trans cooler inlet connection, up front until it runs clean. Usually 3-4 liters. This I do incrementally, "Before" the official startup. Nice to have a spotter with a catch can larger than 1 liter.

[@classicrestouk]

Luke, there's a company called Nag52. He makes a programmable version of the TCU to help tune the shifts.

[@paulfarghi]

As per usual, tremendous vid, educational, practical, useful...👍🏼

[@BartolomeOrsini]

Amazing vid,I wish I could do this,I have a 2000 E320 Wagon transmission is starting to have problems when cold, I have to let my wagon warm up 30 to 45 minutes before driving it after that works amazing,smooth and strong gears,I don't even feel the gears,but cold it doesn't work well,I'm starting to get really worried it's all I have to put food on the table, I live in USA and here you take it to a mechanic and then you have no transmission they will brake it,I don't trust anyone,same at the dealer, they will brake it so they can charge you more ! I did spark plugs coils and wires myself, I have to get the tools parts and corage, Study this Videos well to do it myself otherwise Mechanics will destroy my wagon!I wish I could find one of those Diesel Turbo Wagons here in USA, Amazing vid thanks for your time!

[@spinachmodulo7418]

Perfect timing! Planning to service my gearbox this weekend👌

[@heem6619]

thanks for including the torque settings, very helpful :)

Where can one find the documents you refer to?

[@uberdriver830]

Hallo thank you so much for the video it’s very informative. I have a 1998 MBZ ML320 and currently working on my transmission I changed my conductor plate on the hydraulic unit (Valve body ) how and where can I get the programming plate and the springs that goes inside the valve Body to fully rebuild the hydraulic unit and also how much will it cost ? FYI MY Transmission is 722.6 model and made in USA Thank you and greetings from California

[@finngames2837]

wait what are you supposed to ahve the engine running when checking trans oil?

[@Neilzn]

I have a 08 jeep commander 3.7 awd with 722.6 nag1 trans. What does this program plate help with? I want to buy the conductor plate. Do you offer both is so where do i buy from? Im in the U.S. Great vid. Thank you.

[@pearcesteve111]

Have you done any R&D on using the 722.9 yet? I've had my valve body out of my 722.9 3 times recently, changed the conductor plate and got it working 95% But still some of the shifts feel a bit off at times. I didn't appreciate the function of the programming plate till watching this video, so wondering if there's a future upgrade for the 722.9 you could develop?

[@mikeducat8729]

solenoid o-rings leak fluided pressure

[@tramptruck4859]

Good video, the engine mounts are a swine on a petrol V8 😂

[@FADI_Italy]

Hello.... thank you for the useful video, but I got a question, I replaced my car Transmission Conductor Plate NAG1 for 2007 Chrysler 300C 5.7l AWD, it works then not shifting, they told me your Transmission need programming to work correct, someone else told me it doesn't need programming, so I got confused does it need Programming as you a professional??? Cuz am afraid to pay money for programming then if it doesn't work then you waste the money for nothing. Thank you

[@liamhoanzl2920]

Where did u buy that plate from ?

[@Robdutton91]

Mahker have recently put out a video where they say the OM606 belongs in a Mercedes coupe and nothing else, seems like maybe you touched a nerve with your OM605 series 😂

[@nobba255]

Does the valvebody plate fit a 722.6 trans from a w211 320 cdi and does it bring any benefits for it?

[@DieselPumpUK]

Yes

[@martinsuperstar6049]

​@@DieselPumpUK sounds like it fits all 722.6 right?

[@tdotw77]

1:44 Dispose of this properly.....put it through a coffee filter and right into the fuel tank. Bamm, 'disposed of'! I have a 7.3 f250 so i just pour it right into fuel tank(after filtering, sometimes). I love these older diesels that have nothing choking them like dpf, scr, egr, etc. 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩⛓️🚜⚡💥💨💨🛢️🚦⛽🚧

[@khasem87]

that was very infomrmative , where do you get the technical information.

[@daytonstokes6900]

Take off your passenger head light housing (driver side usa version)and inspect the soft lines of the trans intercooler. Big deal right there.had a phantom leak .leaking without showing signs.

would love to know if one of your 7.7 edc pumps would work with my stage 2 tuned Sean Tracey ecu mod our would I have to have the ecu re tuned for your pump..

[@DieselPumpUK]

It would work yes but ideally Sean has a different map for the custom edc pumps

[@manuelolive53]

What torque converter would you recommend for a stock om648 e320 ? I believe my torque converter is the culprit of a rattling noise on take off

[@grinmaul]

11 months later and this plate is not on your website?

[@Tedashii44]

When replacing the valve body and control module do I have to get the TCM reprogrammed or could I just have it relearn it by itself

[@mikeducat8729]

did rebuild no my C55 722.6 used C180 valve body . vacuum tested and change the o-rings on the soleniods

Does this transmission have a 210 545 13 32 switching module? Is it a 722.9? Is it external or in oil? Does it control the neutral switch?

[@bobvancalcar9090]

Did you drain the torque converter too?

[@powpow4033]

so when is this going to the web?

[@Bastard_Operator_From_Hell]

The so called blue top solenoids are not AMG related at all. As of end of 2004, all 722.6 were equipped with blue top solenoids. The people who say they don’t make a difference are stupid to say the least. They are modified internally, to withstand higher modulation pressure for faster gear switching. And I don’t just say this. I have the original blue prints of the parts with technical specs attached. Just like I have access to all original blue prints of every Mercedes part thanks to being a former MB engineer who worked in development during the 211 era.

[@zanfranko]

Can this gearbox be installed on w124 e300td with OM603 engine?

[@moesboes8023]

No related question to this video. I am based in UAE and have a w126 that I would like to swap engine to one of yours. Do you have experience fitting your engines to a w126 body? If so please share the details, if no would this be feasible ? Mind you there are still a lot of w126 enthusiast that would like to use the car as daily drive but original engines lack the power for today traffic..!?

[@HoomanR17]

I don't see the program plate on your website? any links?

[@kovacspis]

What would you recommend for me to get if I want a response monster OM606? Pump and turbo wise. I don't need 400 hp, I want it to pick up early and have diesel characteristics.
