1996 and up Mercedes cars as well as M class 722.6 series automatic transmissions
There are a number of reasons for the failure of the new style transmission. If your car is in the shop or if you are a shop, E mail us the error codes and we will assist in diagnosing the transmission problem. The switch inside the shifter, speed sensors or even an engine sensor can cause a transmission malfunction. If there are any noises coming from the transmission, or if there is metal at the bottom of the transmission oil pan, the transmission has failed. This type of mechanical failure is common.
We recommend changing the transmission oil and filter every 2 years or 24,000 miles. Use only an original Mercedes part number 1402770095 transmission oil filter and 001989210310 synthetic transmission oil.
