Hello all I am in the midst of doing a transmission service on my 06 r500 I have rotated the engine twice fully and still cannot find the torque converter drain plug does anyone know if the 06 models have a torque converter drain plug?
I have two access windows on the transmission, one for the torque converter, and one for flexplate bolts.
I would really hate to contaminate my new fluid if I don't have to. dDoubtful that the transmission fluid has never been changed and I have a 128,000 miles the fluid came out looking like mercury and ink!! I just bought the car here in March.
Here is an picture of my trans and bellhousing. I spun then engine around again and still could NOT locate a torque converter drain plug so I just proceeded with a pan and filter change. I went with a deeper pan from the 2012+ year 722.9 with a smart media filter (all OE Mercedes parts) from FCP Euro. I filled through the bottom of the pan using a mitivac fluid dispenser with adapter and ran trans temp to 45C.
