Replacing Pan Gasket, Filter, Electrical Connector, Fluid. Enjoy.

[@jtwalters6671]

A Very Very BIG Thank You to the person who posted this video. He actually took the time to explain every little important detail obviously from many experiences doing this maintenance. This was super helpful.

[@Sammyblueboy]

Thankyou for this very descriptive tutorial. I've not done a transmission service before and plan to undertake this service soon on my 2003 CL55. This is the best video I've seen on this topic. Thanks again.

[@crustypilchard918]

Most impressive sir, your tutorial has saved both money and time. I salute you

[@RAFAELGONZALEZ-kc2yn]

Thanks ! You're very good explaining and showing us what to do. No BS nor trying to show off. You are a very good and clear instructor. Congratulations😉

[@danmthebassman]

Thanks for your great advice! In particular, the critical positioning/timing of the electrical plastic housing to match up with the transmission housing keyways on the 722.6 trans on my 2006 Sprinter!! My original OEM part was leaking. A good trick I came up with was to clean/ "drain" the harness and socket was using a clean shop towel and small shop vacuum. You were right- the fluid had traveled vertically. After about 5 minutes of vacuum, moving the towel in front of harness socket, it wicked dry. Thanks again!

[@DangerDIY]

You are a great mechanic and a wonderful teacher. Thank you for another amazing video. I started working on my Mercedes in November last year after letting it sit and neglecting it for a few years while my son drove the car. I would have discovered and watched your channel at the beginning.

[@TaggingTechnician]

Excellent video! Well done! Thank you for your patient and pleasant and professional presentation!

[@SCLARK2112]

Great video with very clear instructions and EXCELLENT camera work!

[@tonyreyes9969]

Very systematic way of servicing M.benz automatic transmission. The video was very clear and so with the instruction, I just thought that the old transmission fluid from the torque converter should have been drained and renewed as well, otherwise you've done an excellent work Sir, thank you so very much for your time and effort.

[@redwood410]

Excellent!! I watched twice and did exactly what you did to perfectly service my CLK320 Transmission!

its so easy and clear your demo on how to do the transmission change oil now thank you so much appreciated your effort mr Mercedez doc...

[@Dave-in-France]

Hi there and thank you very much for this excellent video. I'm picking up a CLK 270 cdi with this 'box and as soon as I get the car I want to go through it to make sure all fluids and filters are new.

[@gordonfischer8484]

Excellent video, thank you for covering everything most other videos missed especially that electrical connector. Personally I didn’t bother with the fluid extractor, or the drain plug, just dropped the trans pan. I avoided removing the drain plug to ensure I wouldn’t introduce a leak from the drain bolt.

[@DoctorProperty]

Very good video - all the information I needed to change my own transmission fluid. Good close up of how to deal with the electrical contact. Thanks

[@TobiasAdryan]

great video, thank you for the thorough explanation!

Diesel Mercedes, thanks much for a great how to video. Will be changing 722.6 transmission fluid in my 2001 ML430. Most of all, I like your wood very sturdy car ramp design that I built one like yours but with two 2x6 doweled and glued together since my SUV and car have 9" wide tires.

[@LiamRoberts00]

You made it look easy great video, I have an E320 which has a hydraulic knock possible from the transmission, I have changed all the motor mounts and changed the diff oil, this is my next job in the hope to solve this problem

Good work on your part, at least we know the difficulty of changing the oil from the automatic gearbox and changing the mechanisms that surround it, thank you, great work

very knowledgeable and done with care. Unlike someone else who operated with one shaky hand and forced delicate plastic around and pretended to be an expert. A joy to watch.

[@derekearlcounts7272]

Thank you very simple and clean instruction plain as Day videos fantastic and your instruction the way you presented on the money thank you I have a 2012 E350 turbo diesel Bluetec 3.0 6 cylinder turbo diesel very helpful keep these videos coming covering for any other repairs on a Mercedes E350 2012 BlueTEC

[@charleshines6155]

I like that style of pan gasket. My 2013 Passat uses a gasket similar to that. What I like is that there is no silicone to scrape or get into the transmission accidentally. If that stuff finds its way into the valve body it will be a bad day!!

[@staaaajn]

very good video. I have waited for years for a video like this. I have a CLK W208 2.0 with automatic transmission, but I guess the work is very similar.

[@codeseven7057]

This is probably the best video I’ve ever seen. Very clear and thank you for filming this.

I really like your way of presenting videos. This will be great for my S210.265, but I will also drain the torque converter, which has another three quarts of dirty trans fluid in it.

Except he left 5L of filthy ATF in torque converter; wasted his time?

[@noneofyodamnbidness6373]

First, this was a great video...very informative! I was wondering...does this procedure pertain to the W212 (E350 4Matic) engine? Thanks.

[@vvactivist]

Just curious about your wheel stands. How do you get the vehicle up high enough to place those wooden wheel stands under the wheel? And what are they made of?

[@triantafillosmountziaris4697]

If you have no leaks you can simply use a fluid extractor and pump out about 1 gallon of ATF from the dipstick hole of the transmission and replace it with equal amount of fresh ATF with no hassles. Repeat it three times after driving a little in between fluid exchanges and you replaced most of the ATF fluid by dilution quickly and easily. Do it every 4 years and it will be sufficient maintenance for the life of this transmission. You can do this from the engine bay while wearing your suit :). The cost will be ~$20/gallon per fluid exchange, if you use the fully synthetic Valvoline ATF that is approved for this transmission and works fine. My 20+ year old ML is at 250K miles and the transmission runs smoothly.

[@frnzklmmrll1012]

There is another electrical connection and socket on the back side of the transmission. what is it, and how does one fix it if it is leaking fluid?

[@james7235]

Hi, is this the same procedure for the b-class w245?

[@dzodaj]

Cool thing, you are the only one who mentioned filter pin...Do you work on a hot clutch? I suppose more oil can be drained while it is on 80C...or I am wrong

[@spike2009usa]

After changing my AT fluid, it leaks from where electrical connector is and from under the gasket on the same side where the connector is. What did I do wrong? The filter didn't stay in tight. Could that be a problem?

[@andym841]

I came upon your video recommended by youtube, I change out the transmission harness and the conductor added the transmission fluid (added the right amount of transmission fluid) and it still jolts when I shift to reverse down to drive and back to park did it again and its still jolts. what am I doing wrong here. HELP!

Aw man thanks for doing this. I am about to do the conductor plate replacement. I have gasket filter new plug and conductor plate. But I have not gotten my new fluid yet and I do not have a torque wrench 🔧. What wrench would you recommend? Also do you get your fluid from amazon? Thanks. Joe

2.5 Nm per WIS. But no one has such torque wrenches, so you just tighten it by the feel.

Do you have to drain the fluid before you change the electrical plug? Can I just swap the plug without losing fluid?

Do you replace the seal on the oil pan?

Hey, excellent job!!, do you think the clearance would be enough to replace the pan without raising the whole car, I mean with only jacking the front ( with both jack stands under the front doors points ) ? .

[@attiliodellamonica83]

I should replace the automatic transmission unit but as compatible spare parts online I find for example FEBI 32342 but I do not understand how it can be compatible if my car does not have 5 reports

Hi, I have a 1999 w210 e320 with 350k miles. I have a major leak on connector and pan gasket. Can I perform this service and replace connector and have no issues? Transmission was last serviced in 2005 with about 100k miles
