There are other videos on this topic, but this one by far gives you the finer details not covered by the others. Thank you for clearly showing the exact bolts that hold the valve body on, versus the other ones that you don't touch. Also clearly showing the part with the umbrella gasket, and confirming that the blue and black solenoids are not interchangeable and you can't get those wrong. Also clearly showing the shift lever position sensor and also the plug at the top. You didn't show cleaning the solenoid screens but the other videos show that. One warning though - those jack stands were hyper-extended, you had more than a ton of room. Stay safe and thanks!

For $1,360 total with tax & complete Transmission Service I just had a Indy replace my Conductor Plate ($460 for the plate alone) with a new one from Mercedes (They are Authorized to Program as it's a Theft Part). Mercedes S550 96K. I got the P0717 P2767 codes. My car would get stuck in 5th or 6th gear every couple months. Restart fixes it Temporarily. Then got Limp Mode (stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear). Restart fixed it, so I just booked the job. FYI Make sure you have Version #2 or #3 Valve Body. Version #1 you must replace Valve Body & Conductor plate together. 👍🏼 Shifts like butter now. I still wouldn't own any other Brand Car (they all have their issues too YES Especially Toyota & Honda) Mercedes S class drives & feels like no other car. Everytime I sit in it, I thank God. 🔥✝️🔥

Hi, thanks for very useful video, that's going to help me to servicing my 7g clk. I think I mixed the order of the solenoids blue, green and black. So my question is I respect the color order without the initial order would it be good? Thanks in advance

[@dixonhimselff468]

Good day, I have a 2008 Mercedes Benz.. brought it to the shop for a service, oil change etc.. one day after the service the car slams into reverse and drive gear, additional the transmission won’t shift out, it’s just driving in 1st gear.. brought it back to the shop, they said it’s the transmission valve body.. the car was prefect before that service

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

If you mean a transmission service rather than an engine oil change, these symptoms can happen from having a low level of transmission fluid. Very likely that the fluid level was not set correctly.

You might have done so . Is it prudent to renew all seals (O rings?) while you have the valve body out? I have not researched this yet but is there a kit of sorts for this job? If you are just replacing the solenoids ( I would imagine renew them all for reliability?) is any special programming required?

[@mauro11553]

hello, I see that you are very practical. in my 722.9 there is a problem when engaging the reverse gear. When changing from D to R or N when the oil is cold. Could it be a solenoid problem? because it only does it from D to R.

Thanks alot man, I have a 60K mile 2013 E350 that has 2 trans services done at the dealer and recently my 4 to 5 shift is kinda delayed and at certain rpms almost like a little slip only 4 to 5 upshift. Im thinking one of the solenoids maybe ?? But how to know which is for the 4 to 5 shift? I am going to rip this sucker apart and redo the fluid anyway because I gotta be honest, I dont rust the dealer service.

[@Mil-usos]

And it's way cheaper for you to do it lol At any rate, I'll see if I can the place that services the conductor plate. If there is anything wrong it, they'll let you know, fix it up, and send it back to you for cheap. I'm happy to hear this video helped.

[@SVXistance]

Hey John Zito I’m having same issue with delayed hard 4-5 shift on light to medium throttle (less noticeable when reving it out) .I suspect (hope) the solenoid is a little clogged at the screen and thus the fluid flow is restricted which can cause rough shift ….anyway I ordered all new solenoids and will be tackling this soon !!! Will post video on my channel 👍

[@villbuzeep2043]

Is there any concern with putting the blue solenoids in the wrong spots, or are they all interchangeable (blue for blue, black for black)?

[@mac2k2020]

they should be all the same, blue are closed to start with and black are open (or the other way around) so as long as you replace a blue with a blue and a black with black you should be good

[@blaxxxmafia5444]

You should let everyone know that they have to reprogram the new conductor plate before replacing into the car

[@Mil-usos]

Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. If there were any codes stored, they need to be cleared. Mercedes is notorious for its cars still acting up, even if the problem has been fixed. Once you fix the problem and clear the codes, the car should drive just fine.

[@sundancesoza2575]

Can i buy the complete conductor plate and if so do i have to reprogram the new one? My obd reads speed sensor B is malfunctioning so i rather buy a whole new one.

[@adamharris2674]

Look up Circuit Board Medics for conductor plate rebuild. They answer all questions.

[@Mil-usos]

You can buy a new one. It's it does have to be programmed (preferably with the old one available). Also, there a few companies that offer conductor plate service that fixed most of the issues. Good luck.

[@genarogranados3093]

Question?? If I buy a new valve body, can Mercedes reprogram it with my VIN number only??? Thanks

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Mercedes will not touch it unless you buy it from them & they remove your old one & install your new one. A Benz specialist with STAR/Xentry can though.

[@abyssalsoul6216]

Do these solenoids fail because of poor transmission maintenance , that is, not renewing the filter and fluid on schedule or is it just their life expectancy with age and miles? What are the driving symptoms of these failing solenoids?

[@a.v.auditsl8517]

This is a common issue with the 722.9. The solenoids start getting stuck after a while because of poor maintenance( gunk in the oil). The symptoms are: while putting the car into park or drive etc.. the car will kick, also while driving, when the car changes gear it will kick mostly in gears 1-4. I had this issue, i did a whole transmission service and drained the torque converter, put 9 new liters of fluid.. with the right process, i reset my transmission module, dealer states 250 mile process to feel the difference, thats wasnt true on my end, dont get me wrong my car drove way smoother after the change but it wasn’t till around 1000 miles till the kicks completely went away. Let me mind you that i bought my 2014 c250 with 77,000 miles and never had the atf change, man that oil was black and very dirty, dealer says to change atf every 70k but i read on forums where they recommend to change the atf on these 722.9 every 35k, I think i will start doing mine every 20-30k. Hope this helps!

[@abyssalsoul6216]

@@a.v.auditsl8517 Thank you for your response. I am the third owner and I acquired this car ( 09 E350) from a friend who had the transmission serviced at the dealer at 42k miles. It was filter change and a drain and fill. At 65k miles. I personally drained all the fluid out , including the torque converter, and filled back according to the proper guidelines which includes letting the excess flow out at 45 degrees C. At 95 k miles I did a filter change and drain and fill again although I merely pumped up the amount that drained out. I let the car sit overnight before doing this and I left out the containers of fluid next to the car so the temperatures would be approximately the same. The fluid in all my maintenance was never dark and dirty. There was always a tint of red and it was clean. The only thing that annoys me with this transmission is a hard down shift at times especially when accelerating and backing off the gas as in a traffic stop and go situation, It is totally random and I live with this.

@@abyssalsoul6216its pretty normal to have randomly kicks, whenever I leave the accelerator, I think at some point there was a software update, I miss the original parameters.

For the love of God, don't use a torx if it is a hex bolt. You are asking for a no good very bad day if that metal is too soft. The correct sized punch is 10mm, not this skinny one if you want to get exact. But a screw driver angled to break the plastic level nozzle is fine also.
