7G tronic gearbox takes blueish green 722.9+ ATF fluid. You can drain the torque converter if you unbolt the electric pump for the start stop lubrication. (if it has it). You will see a rubber grommet. Take it out and spin the torque converter with a screw driver until you see the little drain bolt. Remove the little bolt and hang sometype of little hook on it so air can get easily in the torque converter to drain it completely. Almost all of the 722.9 gearboxes you can drain the torque converter. When refilling put 9 ish liters in the gearbox. Run it to around 40°C. Let it drain till it begins to have a flow with bubbles. Than you can seal it back up. MB 236.15 ATF fluid for 722.9+. Not sure about the standard 722.9 ALWAYS use new bolts for the transmission oil pan. Torque specs 10nm for torque converter. 4nm and 90° + 90° for the oil pan. 22nm for the drain plug.

The facelift doesn't have a torque converter, instead it has a single clutch. I thought it was called AMG speedshift MCT.

You can drain the torque converter (there is a rubber cover on the bottom of the bellhousing which exposes a small plug in the torque converter, you may have to rotate the engine to find it, some 722.9 transmissions had drain plugs which were the later trans) do all this at the same time as you change the filter, remove both cooler pipes and blow out the cooler lines as well this will help the convertor drain as well, the little green tube you can actually just knock it into the transmission sump (usually breaks) which will help drain 99% of the oil, I only use the Merc trans oil it's green in colour just quote the VIN to mercedes dealer, I think the manual states a 6 or 7 litre refill, I always get 8 litres, when you refit the filter and the green oil level tube to the sump, simply pump in about 5 liters of oil, start run for 30 seconds, shutoff pump in the remainder of oil, then start run through all forward and reverse gears, then using your diagnostic tool get up the trans oil temp, I think from memory wait until oil temp is at 45 degrees c, shutdown engine and check the level of the trans sump if oil pours out wait until its just dripping, if no oil pours out add more oil until the oil is just dripping out of sump plug hole. Remember the green tube sets the level of the transmission at 45 Degrees C

[@tonyarmstrong-fe1gl]

I turned the engine over at least 4 times with the rubber grommet out and there was no drain in the torque converter guaranteed 😂

[@sebasgerrit]

You have to keep the engine running while draining at temperature. Or the oil will be to low.

[@markfitzgerald7556]

If you have the rubber grommet you have a way of draining the convertor, if not pull the two cooler lines out of the trans and run some air pressure through one of the lines a couple of PSI should push all the oil out....................search for How to Drain Oil From Torque Converter // Mercedes here on youtubethis guy shows you exactly where to find it, MERCEDES WIS Doc AR27.20-P-0200-03R if you still do not believe me@@tonyarmstrong-fe1gl

Good video guys. I've got a C63 and I'm going to be doing a transmission service in a few weeks. Have you swapped the injectors out on yours? There's a common issue where an injector can fail in the open position and hydrolock the engine. So a lot of people swap them out as a precaution. I changed mine this week. Glad I did, lots of carbon build up on the old ones and my cars only done about 35000 miles. It's's quite an easy job and bosch OEM injectors are not very expensive. Looking forward to the next video.

Your dad's a legend man, always a pleasure to see him in the videos! I think the mechatronic is at fault here, there is a lot of solenoids which open and close in order for the gearbox to work as intended, if some however get clogged up or damaged, they do not open and close and this problem happens

[@buster332]

My guess is your crank position sensor is on its way out or the fuel pumps or possibly your fuel pressure sensor. Could also be related to the oil sensor giving the car a false reading thinking that it’s out of oil.

[@jasonbenson7699]

Hi Matt love the videos you do and your dad as well. My 1999 ford mustang gt did the same thing as your Mercedes and mine I could get it to drive if I gave it gas right away when I shifted to drive and then it would sound like a manual car taking off and once the oil warmed up then you could stop without it dying. When I pulled the pan off it was the same as yours with a bunch of metal stuff on the magnet and from what we seen it was the torque converter causing it because it was engaging when it wasnt supposed to when was burning the clutch off. I ended up replacing the whole transmission since it had 81,000 on it. Yours might be doing the same thing as my mustang was doing. Also I changed the oil first and filter like your dad did and the trick to change the oil was to disconnect the transmission lines running into the radiator that cools it and start the car which will pump it out and while its doing thaty your pour in the new fluid and when you added the full amount maybe 8 quarts then shut it off and check the level and reconnect the lines. If you have someone helping you then he should be able to see the blue fluid eventually come out once all of the old is out.

I've done dozens of amg Trans flush, You are supposed to stick a screwdriver or what mb calls a "drift tool" into the trans pan drain hole and bend sideways to remove the standpipe. That drains most of the pan.The standpipe should be replaced after and with same color pipe, there are many colors/ sizes. There definitely should be a super tiny drain plug in the TC as well hard to see bc it's a teeny tiny Allen and you have to rotate engine to find it.
