You guys know the part number and how many Qt do i need ?
Also the filter part number ?


Thank you.

My car is 45000 miles and time to do it.

Shell makes the ATF specs for MB. You don't need the 20$ a bottle MB stuff.


I believe its this stuff, 134.


You could probably find it cheaper.

You need about 10 liters of it.

any idea on filter ? is there a filter ? Thanks

Merc63

Yes there is a filter, gasket, filling tube all needed and a pump to pump in the fluid.


Pump in 6 liters, start car, let it idle till tranny pan is 90C. Run tranny through d r p, etc. shut off, open fill/drain hole and pump in another 2-3 liters, remove pump let excess spill out till it stops free pouring and starts spitting out, through in plug, done.

Hard to do without a lift

I need to do this as well. Not paying another $500 to get this done. (I did it around 45k miles, I'm at 90k miles now)

U dont need a lift.


There are shops that rent lifts too...

But u dont need it, just put it on 4 jack stands. I installed headers, blower, etc all on jack stands wooo fun.

Tranny flush is pretty straight forward.


OH YA, I forgot you need all NEW bolts for the pan, they are torque to yield and can only be used once. They need to be torqued down to spec.

Do you have a part number for the bolts?

Hi, you are supposed to drive the pipe off from below before you remove the transmission pan in order to drain all of the fluid from the transmission. The overflow pipe can be damaged when driving it off the pan. It is not absolutely necessary to knock the pipe off you can just remove the pan but you may spill some fluid. If you leave the pipe in place you should not need to replace it. It is not absolutely necessary to replace the pan screws but you should torque them when you reinstall the pan. The initial torque is 4 Nm plus an additional 180°.If you choose to replace them the part number is 004 990 35 12. There are 6 pan bolts. All items are available in the US.

Wrong, bolts are TTY. They permenately stretch and should be replaced every time.


Buy a new 5$ fill tube and drain it properly instead of spilling fluid everywhere.

If anyone needs these parts to do it at home. I have a extra filter, gasket and bolts, brand new mb stuff in box.
