I will do than pan flush of my 722.6 transmisison soon and am looking for pan gasket and pan filter.

I went to Autohausaz and there are 2 makes of pan gasket: Elringklinger ($6.44) and Uro ($3.56). Also, they also have a gasket and filter kit from Mann ($14.14).

Which one did you guys use?

I use OEM parts only since the price difference is little compared to the quality and piece of mind you get especially when it gets to Engine+Transmission.

The OEM gasket is made by WOCO and can be found here: http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe...Q1CmRQ4fw.aspx

The OEM filter can be found here: http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe...SEAL3EPtQ.aspx

+1 for the price i got them straight from the dealer.

I prefer MB parts. In Canada, I can only get MB parts from MB dealerships and they are usually close to double (more than double sometimes) than US MB online stores like oediscountparts, parts.com, etc.

EG:. I recently had to replace the drive side window switch. The parts costs $248CAN here and $142US in oediscountparts. Factoring in shipping charge and exchange rate, I still save some. I am comparing OE to OE parts.

Yeah, even if the price is double, for those types things just get them at the dealer.

By OE, I meant MB parts with MB packaging. I bought engine mounts last year from US and they have MB logo and MB part number on the engine mount!

I, for one, do not want to pay double for the same item.

Another extreme cases is fuel filter. Local dealerships (Toronto) charged $144CAN and I got it from US for $43US. It is the same part with MB packaging and part number.

But your original question was about off-brand parts, which is what I meant about paying twice as much for MB. It may be a different issue in Canada, but for something as inexpensive as a tranny filter and gasket I'll still pay dealer prices because the difference of a few bucks isn't worth my time to look online, think about shipping, etc.

OK. I will get the MB parts. Thanks.
I asked because like most parts, I did not know the manufacturers of these transmission parts.

In fact, we Canadians pay more for most items (electronics, cars, clothing, car parts, etc) as compared to US.
