Mercedes-Benz 7G-TRONIC Plus Transmission

The 7G-TRONIC PLUS operates even more smoothly, quickly and economically than the first generation of the 7G-TRONIC. Its efficiency has been optimised by measures such as an engine connection offering a further reduction in converter slip and markedly diminished gear friction losses.

This is some high tech engineering and I think few people in the world understand how complex is Mercedes transmission system congrats to Mercedes staff excellent job

[@TheSterlingArcher16]

I'm an engineering student and this stuff blows my mind with its complexity.

[@soilmanted]

Sounds like an ordinary automatic transmission to me - which IS the most complex thing in a motor vehicle - that they simply made lots of small improvements to, part by part. I didn't hear about anything really innovative here except maybe the second oil pump to help prevent wear when the transmission is used with an engine having an automatic start-stop feature.

[@jeffreyhebda6709]

I recently purchased a 2012 ml63. It has 83k miles, looks nice, very ! Did ALL maintenance that it needed, vehicle has NOT been beat. Very quick unique shifting from transmission. Every time I drive it I love it more and more. Tight quick shifting, up or down. Very unique and race vehicle like. I really enjoy this incredible vehicle and it’s technology!

[@TotalFacePlam]

And yet as revolutionizing as this is when you try to shift if manually it falls flat on it's face with every down shift.

[@TotalFacePlam]

Igor K Do you rev match to a shiftable automatic?

[@TotalFacePlam]

Igor K See what it does is not just slow down it slows down like it's braking except it's not and then it returns to the speed it's supposed to be.

[@TotalFacePlam]

Igor K Okay here's the short version, the transmission pretty much falls flat on it's face (the clutch doesn't engage) when you downshift at low speeds. What I'm wondering is if you need to rev match it like in a normal manual transmission.

[@jeffk464]

+Jimmy Situ Its a slightly better standard automatic transmission. If you wan't super quick, manually controllable shifts, with even better efficiency you want a DSG. Of course luxury car buyers will probably still prefer a torque converter because all that slippage translates into smoothness.

Have this gearbox in my current C350. It does feel slightly clunky when cold (but nowhere near that of my Mitsubishi 6spd auto), but nearly imperceptible when temperature stabilizes. It also feels more direct than the outgoing 7G-Tronic I used to have on my C250, so the 7G-Tronic+ has definitely improved on the directness of the engine. Start-stop is nice too.

The brilliant people who are encouraged to stretch the limits of the possible is one of the wonders of the 20-21 century.

Carrying around a 750KG battery full or empty that after 5 years has maybe 60% capacity. A Mercedes E Class made in 1990 is still a car that is a wonderful drive everyday.

I would get it changed out. It's not cheap to have done at an MB dealership, but that may be best. I'd let the service advisor know about your concerns and they should be able to provide guidence.

Trying to figure out if my 2016 GLE400 is equipped with the 7G Tronic or the 7G Tronic Plus. All I know it has code A89 (Friction-reduced) with ECO (start/stop). Be careful when ordering the Trans filter there are (2) different part numbers. For non A89 code the 221-277-02-00 and for with code A89 you will need 222-277-20-00.

[@fkykas]

I have read that cars with start/stop have 7G+

[@SuperGattan]

The transmission Control Unit is a big problem, one time I had a problem with shifting going in to limp mode, so I had it replaced costing me $1500. After 3 years I have another check engine light that indicate a lost communication with transmission Control Unit. This fix will cost the same amount. Therefore, the quality of the transmission Control Unit is not good and it will fail sooner or later.

Actually the MPG of the S-Class S500 V8 with the 9G-tronic is slightly lower than of the S350 V6 with the 7G-tronic. The V8 has more power at low RPM and can shift more efficiently with the 9G-tronic, as the V6 needs more RPM for power.

hi all... First of all, yes, Mercs reliability isn't what it used to be; but what manufactures' is anymore. 2nd) Each brand has a specific mindset of customer's in their approach; Merc isn't for hardcore use, despite the AMG models. if you are in for that get (if you find anymore) a Honda S2000; simple mechanical engineering, no electrical bullshits, a guaranteed smile on your face as well as most probably a short life term ;), 3) 0,5 liter/per 100 kms saving or 17gr/kms less CO2; that is indeed for the press releases BUT also for the environmental norms in effect, not for saving us money, 4) When they are used normally and they get a transmission fluid, filter and the rubber gaskets changed every 40.000 kms / about 27.000 miles or every 2 years if you are not doing that milage in that time, what it might fails anymore is the damn electronic units of it. So, in general they are still reliable. 5) Compare the prices of modern Mercs and any other brand to the same range's model of that brand, today and 15 years ago; they are practically the same although the value of the money has dropped over the years, plus the cars' performance on every lever has gone forward to a whole new century. Think on that, keep calm and keep driving.

[@mitjafreddie]

+Kostas Kourgiantakis For god sake, get with the times! Cars have been using electronics for 30 years at least. The time of simple mechanics, carburetors and manual adjustments is over. It's your subjective feeling that cars are less reliable these days but this just isn't so. Statistics should that they're getting more and more reliable every single decade - despite higher complexity. That's something we non-contributing idiots should praise the engineers for, not dis them.
