Where is this guy at? This is my type of clean cut repair! Look at that impact tool wrapped with a bag while he's taking off the conductor plate... Now that is detail oriented!!! Love it

[@oscargarciahinde4247]

By far the best 722.6 video on KZbin. Great job!

Best by far. I am a mechanical person by trade and I am a big fan of these DIY videos. I have an 06 E350 4matic @ 106K and have been doing all the maintenance myself and this was tops by far!! TY

Very clear instructions, camera angles and speaking. Thanks! I won't be doing this myself because I live in an apartment and don't have a way to jack up my W220 s430. But I wanted to see what is involved when my mercedes mechanice does the work. Thanks again.

[@Carl-eu6ns]

Thanks for the video. This was the most physically challenging repairs I have ever done because I had to do it on 2 jackstands and my shoulders are tanked. I still don't have the ATF topped off. I added 3.7 quarts, then 200ml at a time. But I have to wait a long time to get an accurate measurement with the dipstick because the ATF kind of clings to the fill tube. Anyway, my P0715 code is gone and it shifts! Thanks for a great video.

You have no idea how this video has saved my ass!

[@michaelnelson7106]

Man great video, was concerned about that ball bearing that popped out when the conductor plate was removed. Looked like it just went unnoticed through out video. Hope that didn't create and future check valved issues. Great video thanks so much.

[@Eeuroparts]

It was kept track of, just a flaw in editing

This is probably the best video on KZbin for doing job. Only wish he would have told me bolt and screw sizes. As he went along but no biggie. I just bought a beautiful 2000 e430 that is mint for 1300 at auction. It needs this job. I have done this before but paid a mechanic. It was about $1800

Hi I have this gearbox fitted to my car and it wont drive. In neutral and park it will rev freely as it should but in D and R it will only rev to 2k and won't even try to move an inch. It's had a new conductor plate but no luck. What else could be of course ? Great video by the way very easy to follow and understand. Great work ❤

[@alainpederian]

did it work?

[@davidtaylor857]

Yes. Easy job.

[@alainpederian]

How long did it take you? I'm planning on doing it. Also where did you get the new part from?

[@davidtaylor857]

I could do it again in a couple hours . Be prepared for a transmission fluid shower .

[@alainpederian]

How much fluid did you add after? Did you have to take it to a mercedes dealer to reset the tranmission once it was fixed? (I have a 1999 e320)

[@pfsantos007]

Excellent video. If I had to add anything to the video I would have shown the gasket replacement for the pan and maybe point out torque converter drain plug if that's what I think I saw.

[@godzla69]

I wish he would've touched on torque converter as well. Alot of fluid left in it.

[@baautos9029]

its really great video to learn too. just have 1 question does the conductor plate requires any software programming before or after ?

[@fierakuitali9313]

That plate has been commanded from ECU ( car computer) . Only execute the commands that ECU give . Is a "slave" part and dont think need to be programmed

[@kilogolfbravo9567]

Great video. Have you ever had one of these were you use the kick down on the throttle the gearbox goes into a weird gear change mode as when you accelerate the car she stays around 1000rpm and up shifts all the way to 7th no throttle response and slowly goes faster. Hope I described that ok.

[@trakdv362]

Typically that is a failing Accelerator Position Sensor/Throttle Position Sensor. If there is something wrong with the APS/TPS the DME will typically detect a failure when you apply 100% throttle. It will then go into the limp mode and act the way you describe.

[@kilogolfbravo9567]

[@radmansa5514]

[@williammwai8518]

Will i need to have the dealership reset my ecu because of the new conductor plate.

[@Adub408]

While the car is off depress the gas pedal all the way down as far as u can and then hold it. put the key in and turn it to position 2.where all the dash lights come on, Dont start it. Without touching anything Wait 30 seconds and then turn the key off back to position 0. Take the key out.Now Let go of the gas pedal.and wait another 2 min with the car off. Again, dont touch anything. Then put the key in and Start it and drive it like its stolen. Doing this resets the tcm and depending how you drive, it relearns the shift points on the first 40 shifts. So I reccomend gassing it if your a racer. Or If you want to safe gas and you enjoy accelerating like an old lady, then baby it during the first 40 shifts. I reccomend resetting the tcm every year even if you aren't servicing or fixing it.

[@AndersonERockefeller]

72 inch pounds?? To torque down valve body 🤔🤔 Can someone correct me if in wrong?

[@alexandarj5332]

Why didn't you check the solonoids while you had this apart? Just curious.

Hello, I have 99mb E300TD and the problem he does not go on drive he goes for one foot and no shift ,shot off the engine and put back in drive an again does the same. I found a little Transmition fluid in the antifreeze expansion tank and I open the transmision plug and I drain little bet the fluid and looks ok, what do you think is the problem I need you opinion.Thank you Eeuroparts is my store

Isnt the conductor plate just a plastic peice with some tabs and connections? how does it even fail? bad contacts neeeding to be lightly sanded??

[@markhpluygers2226]

have a CLK 2006, and it's got stuck in 'get you home mode'. Started doing strange things two years ago, switching off and on again restored normal operation for about a year. Then it started again, same thing. Suddenly got worse now locked in some sort of default. Tried to reset it, even worse now!...... 60K miles only, light use. I assume the Transmission Valve Body Plate and Plug have gone wrong. Am I in the right area. If I replace the unit and service the box with fresh oil and filter, will the computer go back to it's original setting. Some advise would be very helpful indeed.

[@NURsMec]

CAn we spray and clean the valve body and solenoid with MAF sensor cleaner?

[@galinkrastev4427]

Does this require reprogramming from the dealer or no?

[@emreengin2331]

on the Left side of the transmission their is a manual valve that you have to be carfull of when installing the valvebody. he did not show this on the video. 7:53 that yellow thing has to line up with a valve.

[@stevejohnson8773]

Great video! Thanks. A couple of questions. Do the solenoid hold down bolts require torquing? Second, should the solenoids be inspected and tested when I have them out? I figured it might be a good idea, especially on an older car.

[@les536]

I did this same job twice e500 and s500 I tested the solenoids cleaned the screens and installed the sonnax kits one very important point he does not mention in the video is the gear selector it has to fit back into the groove on the selector or your gears will not work and if you install the sonnax tcc damper both half have to be separated and the retainer ring has to hold the tcc valve in place but if you do not have the 722.6 diagram o would not attempt this because it's a possibility that the check balls can come out...but yes always check the solenoid with a ohm meter or 12v battery

[@markhpluygers2226]

I've taken off the pan and found a different gearbox from your description, on the valve body is written AB-AA-AAAAA. It has the plug, but it is sitting vertically! After draining the fluid & removing the pan, I then set about disconnecting the plug from hell. Yes, it was soaking wet with transmission oil! There is one orange ring in the plug & it's damaged! We are talking of a seven speed transmission. What to do?...... I wonder whether I can just replace the seal, plug it all back in, re-fill with new filter & hopefully the reset will work?....... Really hoping you might know or have a vidio on this 7 speed box!........ Thank you in advance.

How can you tell if a 722.6 or 722.5 having problems finding the number on the tranmission

[@Daveykid]

Josh, hopefully you're checking this. Of the 6 solenoids, it's obvious which two are the pressure solenoids based on shape alone, but the other 4 - the Lockup, 2/3, 1/2&4/5 and the 3/4, are those four solenoids interchangeable? I've noticed slightly different part numbers and didn't know if those might just be MB revision numbers or if there are specific ones for each of those 4 solenoids. I got an unusual condition just 24 hours after installation in that when downshifting (say 4th to 2nd), the trans shifted real hard then revved but it didn't actually downshift. I immediately put it in neutral and coasted to a stop. I re-engaged into drive and all was fine. Won't try it again but I'm wondering if I have a misplaced solenoid or even a bad one from the kit I bought. Thanks!
