I did this on my 03 s55. Then I feel the trans is more solid and tight and not as comfortable and smooth as before. I change all the solenoids like in your video. Mine was black top.

[@eddieburks5256]

Not expensive??? It’s over 1k for all these solenoids alone😣

@ronniedoorzon1576where did you find them that cheap? can you comment the source??🙏🙏

I did the valve body upgrade on my e55 and while doing it noticed my car already had blue tops! Definitely notice a difference in shift timing doesn’t make the car shift any faster. But I do believe the timing change does make a difference in performance when racing. I’m about to purchase my second m113k but I think I will just go with the mk ultra tcu tune instead of the valvebody stuff

[@Nd_72]

Who did you go with for it

[@yosquidd242]

You put them in dry, would a soak in fresh ATF have been safer for any reason?

[@anon8613]

Okay video.... Yu should change the plug too and clean valve body.

[@Nd_72]

yes on the plug just did not get the part. but that is easy to do any time

[@eturk1]

Why did you install the first one without removing the protective plastic? The factory put that plastic cover in the box to protect the plugs so that they wouldn't get damaged, but you're making a mistake and showing people the wrong way. I hope your card worked correctly.

[@c4r5on88]

I thought that too

[@LaurentMONFORT]

Hi how are you ? Thank you for your beautiful, informative videos... I have a big problem. After changing the board, testing the solenoids without pressurizing, complete disassembly of the valves, installation of Sonnax, draining of new BVA and converter...connector to controller, my problem remains the same...box in degraded mode and not more than 3000 revolutions.... It goes from D to R with jerk and does not shift gears... I cannot pressure test the solenoids.... thank you for your help...

[@pfoxhound]

My2004 50k miles, transmission connector was pushing transfluid in the harness, I found it inside TCU. Change connector periodically.

[@Nd_72]

ya the nag plug goes bad often and the are a cheap part

[@Mlive722]

Valve body upgrade kits work great for 722.6 trans

[@Nd_72]

yes I am looking into that for my slk32. but one thing at a time

Hey ND, great video. I had a question about the solenoids if you don’t mind getting back to me

[@deyoviC]

Did this dude just install the solenoid with the protective plastic on it? Lmao

[@Gatsu3D2A]

No they are called blue tops and come that way, now we laugh at you because you don't know shit but thought you did.

Why would not you clean the valve body?

I did just did not show it

wassup adam glad the transmission is fixed up on the e55 i had a question for you regarding mercedes star diag or xentry or das whatever you wanna call it how did you get it to run properly on your computer i got a s55 amg and wanna code out the secondary o2 sensors also some other goodies but cant justify paying like 1000$ for a certified computer especially some people have been able to get it to work on their computers for free Thanks and keep up the great content man love the additional body filming for ya makes a big difference !

just get a star set up from eBay they are cheap

[@lukerobertswr5189]

@@xxkai45xx48 not sure if xpt will work well with a 2001. It can't read any modules that use communication other than the CANBUS. I have a 2004 and am unable to write to ECM and Instrument Cluster. STAR probably a better option if car is before 2006 for full compatibility.

Have you done the drive shaft flex discs & the center support & bearing ?

[@Nd_72]

not on my e55. they are not bad

When I bought my 2005 e55 it already had the blue tops in it so idk what the factory shifts are like

Some came with them stock

[@ThatE55Kid509]

@@Nd_72 I got stack of receipts from the build they did on it. Heavy duty trans re build with reinforced clutch packs from 1st to 4th upgraded shift solenoid and valve body. State 3 tune on ecu and tcu and 188mm crank pulley makes about 475 wheel HP not bad. Dyno comp in Scottsdale Arizona do magic on cars. Doing a hellcat TB and intake from vrp next hopefully I’ll gain about 70 wheel hp from that 😁 I’ll be watching your video for the install

@@ThatE55Kid509 that sounds like a bad @ss trans good for you

did it split later on. I changed this but my trans split sometime on and off on 4th gear. Before the convert was fine.... any thoughts?

@@Nd_72 think I researched that. Not sure it does that. Hov should be able to handle 7200 at least. Have to figure this out. It's actually a great transmission.
