Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class Automatic Transmission Fluid and Filter Change

[@fshizl2918]

Good video, but no step to re-install the transmission pan? It went from install the filter to remove the dip stick cap and fill.

[@pelicanparts]

Generally installing is just reverse removal, unless there are some easy to mix up parts. This one is pretty standard back together.

Hi there I changed the transmission oil on my 1992 e300D w124. When I pulled the filter a small pin fell out. Do you have any idea where this pin comes out . Thanks in advance

[@gheorghedinu3151]

Here is a picture of the pin.

[@simonvanegten7444]

Good video . I have a problem with my gearbox , When shift to gear D , gearbox go smoothly from 2>3 , but 3>4 won't shift in, it shift to free gear . What the problems .

[@pelicanparts]

First check the transmission fluid level to be sure it is correct. Then check the transmission ECM for fault codes. If the system is not working properly, a fault code will be set. This will be your best bet when diagnosing.

[@acontea9223]

@@pelicanparts Just check the level yesterday , Its too high . I drain out to the normal level then try . Its still the same . How to check the ECM fault ?

[@danielrmorenop]

@@acontea9223 did draining it out and refilling help? I have the same problem, gonna do this tomorrow.

[@marcusfinanger1116]

does pelican parts have oem trans oil

[@pelicanparts]

Yes! With your vehicle info handy, give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.

[@alanOHALAN]

How about draining the fluid with the hose open, run the gear in neutral, and let the fluid come out by itself?

[@pelicanparts]

Pressure is too high. It will make a mess and could damage the trans.

[@Cav3mann]

Is it necessary to drain the torque converter ?????

[@pelicanparts]

Yes

[@Cav3mann]

@@pelicanparts then why do most mechanics I have gone too tell me no?

[@IraHayesIraHayes]

@@Cav3mann because most mechanics are fucking stupid

[@alanOHALAN]

How many liters of fluid came down when you unplug the drain plug?

[@pelicanparts]

Most times 4-6.

[@karentripp6008]

How much transmission fluid do you need to get the whole transmission filled up how many liters?

[@pelicanparts]

What is the year and model of vehicle are you working on? I can see if I have that info.

[@zahirihaz731]

Is this similar with a 1989 W124 260E?

[@pelicanparts]

Not exactly the same.

[@williamkennedy5492]

What happened to the torque converter , you show how to empty but not how to refill ??????

[@pelicanparts]

If fills when filling the transmission. Normally when the filter is removed, the converter will not completely empty.
