On the earlier transmissions (722.1) pan torque is 7NM. Better to use a torque wrench in inches and convert. I believe the torque for the transmission pan in the video is the same
Remove the dip stick first. Because the transmission is a sealed system, it will drain better this way.... It's much quicker to fill to an estimated 1 1/2 pints low and drive the car at highway speeds for about 20 miles, then top off.
@@pelicanparts Thanks a lot for the help! The automatic transmission had been out of action for over a decade and drained only 3.5 liters. Two and a half liters from the pan and 1 liter from the torque converter. So I'm going to put 6 liters.
Use what fluid is recommended for your model and year Benz. For an instant response, give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what fluid you need.
anybody in Northern CA that can rebuild transmissions? I have 2 transmissions that need work. Look for a retired mechanic or smart garage person to do it. I can't wait forever for my boyfriend...
Brilliant. Helped me out with my w108 transmission
Glad we could help!
Pelican, thanks for a well done video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is the best video
Thank you
I guess at some point you should re-install the transmission pan....... Is there a torque spec on the pan bolts?
What is the year and model of vehicle? I can see if I have that info.

Thanks for the video. I would like to know how many liters of oil to put in my 722.1 W4B025 automatic transmission?
Usually it will be 4 -6. But it depends on how much drains.

I am looking for the crush washer. What is its size? I don't want to flush the fluid until I have one for the pan and the torque converter.
With your vehicle info handy, give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.
After draining the system, how do you prime the torque converter with new fluid for startup?
Usually it will not drain totally, so it doesn't require priming.
And it's not OK to use Dextron 3 any brand?

I know someone who's been using "any brand" Dexron 3 for over 20 years with no ill effects.
Which way do I turn the the ratchet/motor?
Clockwise to tighten. Counterclockwise to loosen.

Many rebuilders there. Check with a local Benz shop for a recommendation.
