Enjoy all your videos very informative, but one thing you can do, the torque converter can be easily spun with a long screwdriver to align the drain hole no need to access the crank bolt One thing that I did not like was that you put that mint pan on the concrete scratching the paint which will eventually rust. I had to replace my pan because it was so badly corroded from previous service done by others.
According to the M/B maintenance manual, this procedure is valid for the following transmission models: 722.3, 722.4, and 722.5. I believe that other transmissions require a different filter, however the procedure should be nearly the same.
Awesome video man thank you. I have a 1994 E320 as well, followed your instructions, and it worked great. I hope you can do some more videos, anything is helpful, just trying to get my car back to factory specs! Thanks again
Very good video. I wish I had access to a lift as I would be confident of doing this procedure myself. Two things strike me, the condition of the car underneath is first class and the sheer engineering beauty of Mercedes cars.
Very good video. I have a 2009 Bluetec Diesel but in my car they say that everything in the transmission is sealed. No dipstick, and fluid change is made with a pump to put new fluid. I do not know if it will be so easy to do. Your video is very informative
I believe you are correct, I did a quick search in benzworld and it looks like you have to use a pump to put fluid in as you cycle thru the gears. Good luck.
Hi. I'm in Turkey. I wanted to change the ATF fluid of my w124 89 200. Unfortunately the technician didn't change the fluid of the torque converter. At first (like you) he drained the oil from the pan, and removed and cleaned it and made the filter change. I hope there will be no problem.
Many thanks for your reply. I've watched all of your 124 maintanence videos today and think they're great! Maybe you could do one for a brake fluid change too at some stage? Thanks again!
Mercedes specialist dont recommend draining full ATF fluid , only the pan drain. how was the after driving? i want to use Melye ATF or walmart Castron Transmax Dex/MERC
hello can i use the oil vacuum pump to remove transmission oil ? i used it and refilled with a new fluid but the color of the fluid still the same after changing! should i fully drain it and change again?!
ok so everybody got the idea ......but a very important question due to the fact that is not like oil check that you make it wiht the engine off at cold. I make the check of oil level gear box with the engine running?????????? i see that you show the dipstick while the engine is running is this the way to do it????
These are really great videos! Thank you for doing them. I just have one small question. When you refilled the transmisson you added 5.0L initially and then ran the car and when you re-checked at 80 degrees it appears you didn't have to add any further fluid...is that correct? By that I mean, you didn't have to add the remaining 1.2L of fluid? Many thanks again and greeting from England.
As far as fluid capacities, here are the specs: 1) 4 and 5 cylinder engines with 722.4 transmission = 5.5 liters 2) 6 cylinder engine with 722.3 or 722.5 = 6.2 liters 3) 6 cylinder engine with 722.4 = 6.0 liters 4) 8/12 cylinder engines with 722.3 = 7.7 liters It looks like the torque convertor dictates the capacity.
I have a 1994 S 320 that I recently purchased and I have to change out the fan clutch flange. Anyone know where I can find a guide to help me with this task? Thanks in advance.
nice video but i have a question. i have an E-class 280 benzin 1996 year with the 722.5 automatic transmission which is pretty much the same as this (or at least i think so) it needs again 6,2 liters of fluid and you again have to drain the pan and torque converter it even has the dipstick (same i think) but i didn't understood for this heat meter and the measurement i think my dipstick has min and max marks not degrees... so my question is if my dipstick is with min and max what should i do ? put 6.2 liters of fluid and i'm done or what?
Mercedes instructions call for getting the transmission fluid to normal operating temperature before filling to the appropriate level. They are looking for 80 degrees C on the transmission pan and then you can fill it completely.
Hello :-) I wanted to ask you something, only you cn help me! i have missing 5th on a 722.501( 300 CE-24) and checked both kickdown and shifter switches.. There is no "HGS unit in my car, only "MAS". What controls the solenoid in transmision for 5th gear? dont know what to do! if u have any ideas: dada7809@gmail.com THX!
O modelo esta estampado no lado do passageiro na transmissao. De qualquer forma coloque 5,8 litros e depois de esquentar verifique outra vez e coloque mais ate cheguar ao nivel certo.
E uma MB 300 e 1986 motor 6 CL só não sei como identificar o tipo da transmissão como faço para identificar ? e que esse carro não e muito USADO aqui no BRASIL se puder da uma dica agradeço.
Depende do motor e o modelo da transmissao. Motor de 6 cilindros com a transmissao 722.3 ou 722.5 pega 6,2 litros. Se for a transmissao 722.4 pega 6,0 litros.
This is THE BEST instruction video for W124 trans service on UA-cam.

It is a good idea to spin the pan on that concrete a few more times.

Muchas gracias por tan magnifico video ha sido de una gran ayuda, como todos los que has hecho es excelente, many thanks best regaras ron Cadiz Spain
Thanks you for sharing! It helps a lot.
Please wear nitrile gloves. It hurts me to see you getting exposed to these chemicals.
very helpful video. so to add more ATF you add it where the dip stick is located? thank you

We actually did add the remaining 1.2L, however I did not film it. Cheers
How can That 1994 e320 be so clean? Did you power wash it?
Great video👍🏻, So i have a question regarding that! what will be the symptom if we have a dirty/old trans oil ?
great thing about this is your car and mine are the sane vintage
I have w124 300D 1992 automatic, how mani litre have this box?
Nice video !! great job,😊
Mercedes specialist dont recommend draining full ATF fluid , only the pan drain. how was the after driving? i want to use Melye ATF or walmart Castron Transmax Dex/MERC
hello can i use the oil vacuum pump to remove transmission oil ? i used it and refilled with a new fluid but the color of the fluid still the same after changing! should i fully drain it and change again?!
Do you know how frequently you need to do this job? I have a 94 E320 with 70k miles that I don't think its ever been done.
ok so everybody got the idea ......but a very important question due to the fact that is not like oil check that you make it wiht the engine off at cold.
I make the check of oil level gear box with the engine running??????????
i see that you show the dipstick while the engine is running
is this the way to do it????
Did you do torque converter? Without draining torque converter on those benzes it is pointless because you only got like 40% of fluid out.
These are really great videos! Thank you for doing them.

very good instruction video!
im guessing its the same for a diesel model?
Estou restaurando uma MB 300e quantos litros pega nessa transmissão?e mais uma vez obrigado pelos videos.

THX!
@@David-mk6zx hey man i have 300e24 and the 5th gear isn't working too ! you fixed it??
I would look at the kickdown switch behind the accelerator pedal and the kickdown relay.
Of course I did. Watch Part 1 of the video.
What kind of oil to use since DEXRON3 is discontinued?
+1965 Beto Dexron4 or 5 or 6. pretty much the lowest number they currently make. My corolla calls for dexron 2 lmao.
Best to contact Mercedes of America technical support to be 100% sure.
alright, thankyou. just to check if its the same volume of fluid.
My 2010 e550 doesnt have the dip stick. Is there a fill plug under the car?
Thank you very much!!
Thank you :)

Never, never....I stopped at 4:01...
never throw a brand new gasket down on the workshop floor...!!!
Ranjit Gunner ok keyboard warrior know it all virgin..
Haha,..whatever U fuck up, be sure to have a (another)german on hand to fix it again...I'm out, good luck.
I have a small question why does not work kikdaun. What should I do to make it work?
obrigado vou verificar.
Great video however i live in Oklahoma my tran would read that high of a tem even before starting the car lol
Your extension is too long for the torque to be accurate.
At only 11 lb-ft torque I'm sure there isn't much torsioning of the extension to make any real world difference.
