Mercedes E 250 2010
Change Gearbox

Recently my E250 CGI, 2010 got struck due to transmission issues, gearbox was almost damaged due to coolant mixed with transmission fluid. Now I am planning to change it with used one, 72261807856667 this is my transmission number, I think this is 5 speed gearbox.

- what are things I need to check before buying a used gearbox ?
- is there any compatibility problem if I buy gearbox from same model car ? how can I resolve these compatibility issues ?
- will it require coding after replacing the gearbox ?

please forgive my flaws, I don't have much mechanical idea about MB.

based on your inputs, I would avoid attempting this advanced repair. ​​​​​​

Dont think he is saying that, what he is saying is that its a intrusive job that requires experience. Plus someone with experience finding used gearboxes and such. If your not the MB mechanically inclined or just inclined period (which is fine) its not a job for you.

Kind of like asking if its ok to rebuild a engine when ya have done just basic air filter and oil changes.
