Damn, some high dealer prices. I'd ask if it came with a complimentary spa treatment while you wait.
I paid $600 recently to have a clutch installed. That included removing the trans from the car, new clutch clutch and tob, etc.

Hello all, I'm currently at MB of Littleton getting by 40k service completed and raised the concern about the transmission fluid service and they advised that MB changed the service interval to 70k when they changed to the "blue" fluid.
They mentioned the issues of the TC not having a drain plug and in order to flush completely the transmission would pretty much have to be removed.
I raised my concerns and showed them the WIS PDFs from Johnands DIY thread. And they kindly brought me to the service bay and showed me that my C has eco start and doesn't have that access port as seen in this pdf. (Drain oil from torque converter)
The eco start module is right where that cover in the bell housing is.
Not sure what to do... I'd hate for my transmission to fail because I didn't do the preventative maintenance of getting the fluid flushed and changed.
If there is a way to drain the torque converter for models with Eco start I didn't have the resource to show them, after showing the WIS resources from the DIY thread.
Are Eco start models different or can someone provide the WIS PDFs for those procedures? Thank you in advance!

Hi Guys,
I have an E500 w211 2005 model m113 Engine with a 722 901 gearbox that has just malfunctioned with a TC and Valve Body failure. Will it be possible to replace this transmission with a 722 904 gearbox?
