anyone know where to find a used or rebuilt transmission other than silverstar or mercedes

Take in mind that our transmission is used through out the Mercedes line up. Everything from C320's to SL65's. The transmission designation is 722.6 and is interchangeable within all models that carry the transmission. Take in mind, certain models are stronger than others carrying different internals.

I would recommend a rebuild of your current one using parts from an E55 tranny.

we dont have a transmission service or fluid light that would come on if it was to high or to low correct?

loudandheard

I do not think we have a indicator light showing whether our fluid is too low or too high.

From page 322 of the 2002 "C-Class Operator's Manual":

"The transmission has a permanent fill of automatic transmission fluid. Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks and changes are not required. For this reason the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid leaks or gear shifting malfunctions, have your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center check the transmission fluid level."

Budget Baller

Correct. You use the specialty dipstick for the tranny fluid. It's about 50 bucks.

Hi guys. Anyone knows if the 32 transmission fluid level can be read with the launch diagnostic machine? Any help will be highly appreciated coz my Indy tells me the transmission is throwing a 66% fluid level on tranny when he runs diagnostics. Thanks

Pansu

You use Star diagnostic machine to check oil temperature, oil must be 80celsius and then you use dipstick to measure. This is the correct way.

So the answer is no.

Dollos

Thanks pansu
So basically the Indy is full of crap. That's why I love his forum.

Pansu

And correct value for oil temperature comes in D-mode.

ok it seems like im not coming right with my tranny woes.

Pansu i found threads about glycol contamination and wanted to know what is the best way to check for contamination? is there a way i can check myself (diy kit or something). i phoned the stealers and they tell me there is no kit anymore.
i found the sticker on top of my radiator , it has the following written on it. Valeo RA 1032, 848895M, A 203 500 07 03. anyways to check if this is from a faulty batch? seems like its the original radiator.
Pansu i really appreciate all your help thus far.
