Question about 722.631 5G transmission
Hello, I have been researching for weeks trying to decide which Benz to buy. I narrowed it down to the C43, W202 C280, and W140 S420 or S500. I have decided not to buy the C43 due to the above average transmission failure I see mentioned so often. Had it not been for this issue, I would have no problem buying a C43. What I found interesting about this issue, and also confusing, is that the 722.631 transmission used in the C43 is also used in the late model W140 sedans; yet I don't see very many posts about transmission failure in this forum. So my questions are:
Is the transmission failure as common in the W140s as it is W202 C43 or is it more reliable and durable on the S-class? What's the difference?
Is this the same transmission found in a 2000MY C280? If not, does anyone know that specific tranny code?
