servicing transmission oil and torq converter -> missing bolt for TC?
Hi everyone
I have a 2013 c63 amg for not so long and I'm servicing right now my transmission oil and I'm unable to find the bolt for purging the torc converter. Was turning the engine pulley and after two complete turn, no bolt!
Am I missing something ? Is there a purge bolt on those model or I will have to do a second trans purge to get almost new oil in it ?
suposed to have a 722.9 transmission and my vin is WDDGF7HB8DA878177

thanx
David

if your car is a 2011 it certainly does have a torque converter... unless you have done a transmission swap

I believe Its an early MCT transmission with "A89 Friction-Reduced" Use's the blue fluid" Instead of red.

What's your VIN? If it's it an NA car, are you sure it's not an MY12 that was purchased/delivered in 2011?

The c class didn’t get the mct version until 2012... if your car has one with an mct and it is a 2011 it isn’t the original transmission it’s that simple. No options on a 2011 could have you end up with a mct from the factory in a c63 period

No you are right your car has a transmission that was never available for your car because a vin decoder says so.

LastVIN.com can get you a proper datacard.

For your car: Transmission 722907 02 948362

722907 = non MCT. An MCT is 722930

I changed the transmission fluid on my car. There is no port on the bell housing to access any type of bolt.

Then you couldn't find it or someone changed your transmission.

How could someone not find the port thats on the bottom of the transmission bell housing? That doesn't make any sense.
