Will 1997 E320 transmission fit 2001 E320?
If not, from what years will the transmission fit to my 2001 E320? Unless every year has different transmission.

Without a VIN, I would say yes both differentials are 1:307. however the 97 is a 722.605 and the 01 is a 722.607/618
When you get serious make friends with and MB parts guy who with a VIN could make sure!!
The other big issue is the transmission control module(s) and software compatability(thats a guess on my part)much changed between 97 and 01.
Choose wisely!!!!!

I checked both VIN's----I believe the 97 210.055 transmission 722.605(non touch shifter) ser no 02 239952-------will work in the touch shifter 722.618.
Although there are many obvious internal changes(97---01),both conductor plates are the same.The rear end ratios are the same.
The IDEAL replacement would be a 722.618-----In any event make sure that you find someone who has DAS Xentry to assist in the adaption process----I would not rely on spanky and friends to do the job!!
