We bought the conductor plate in Australia on eBay from Prestige autoparts. It is OEM with the MB logos machined out. With the ebay discount vouchers it works out cheaper than bringing in from overseas. (not sure if these are always available) So dont get ripped off paying 2 to 3 times as much from other sellers and certainly don't be tempted by the no name china junk also available from other sellers.
A++++++ video: 1. Awesome camera work 2. Simple exhaustive explanation Can't do better!!!!!!! PS Great to see younger guys who do not mind getting their hands dirty!!!!
Good job!! I thought I was the only one out there that replaced the one on my ML55 preventatively! When I took mine out, it actually showed some signs of failure (cracks in speed sensor housing) and it actually DID improve shifting quite noticeably. At the same time, I also installed Sonnax's "Master Overlap Sleeve Kit". I now do this to EVERY single 722.6 i own/drop the valve body on.
You wish.. This is a two men job with high Jack and all type of professional tools-- do not cross your head that you can jack-up the car on the ground and do the job by yourself as I did. Do not get fooled.. the Transmission module is very heavy and one man needs to hold it and one needs to put the screws ON and there is no room for two people under the car at your garage at home.

Nice preventive job. I would suggest to change the transfer fluid too. Just 1.6 liters of ATF dexron III. I own a ML 320 with 400k kms,, It’s a very friendy car to work on.
HELLO.....thank you for your superb video....same problem after changing my plate with Febi-bilstein and Solenoid joints etc...Code P0730 on my Autel and in addition the Mercedes techs tell me that they can no longer access the settings with their Tablet.. I am disgusted by this SLK 230 from 1996 which is costing me an arm and a leg... thank you for your advice.....Continue...
Good job ,,electrical plug connector screw should only be done up to around 3 Nm or finger tight..if you put some trans oil on the o rings and warm it in the sun a few minutes it is easier to push in. Drain plug , 5mm allen torque spec is 20 Nm , but only use 18 Nm if you want to be able to remove it next time without rounding the screw or breaking your bit.
Could not tell if the filter went back in exactly right. The top rearward part of that filter has a plastic part that fits up into the trans. And the back of the filter seemed to fall just a bit after the filter and o-ring snapped into place.
I would suggest replacing the solenoids while youre at it. As well as all small sensors you can easily access. About 4 or 5 of them. Makes a big difference
@@garymorrison4675 the solenoids are the 4 round pieces on the top side of the conductor plate. Sensors: one under foot pedal. One on top of transmission, one on the crank shaft and one nearby the crankshaft. There's also a sensor right next to the conductor plate referred to as a plug sometimes
Nice job! It isn’t actually that hard to change. I have bought an new KYB solenoid i was just wondering how much nm or inch pounds u used in this video to tighten them???
Hello.... thank you for the useful video, butvI got a question, I replaced my car Transmission Conductor Plate NAG1 for 2007 Chrysler 300C 5.7l AWD, it works then not shifting, they told me your Transmission need programming to work correct, someone else told me it doesn't need programming, so I got confused does it need Programming as you a professional??? Cuz am afraid to pay money for programming then if it doesn't work then you waste the money for nothing. Thank you
@@garymorrison4675 This was my first time working on the 722.6, so i’m not sure. I’d ask a transmission rebuilder familiar with them to see what they think. I’m not sure of the life on these.
Typical MB, tried and proven Transmissions upgraded just enough to match the tech of the engine in the If it aint broke, Dont fix it ethos that makes these things such a joy to repair and maintain. No trans ECU flash upgrade needed I gather?
I am in Australia and have a W210 e230 WITH A 722.6 at. iT HAS DECIDED TO START HOLDING IN 3rd GEAR ( I THINK ITS 3RD BUT NOT ENTIRELY SURE. ) However I checked the AT fluid level and put 100ml of oil in as it was a bit low. Then I test drived the car and the transmission worked without fault. The about 2 days it got stuck in 3 rd gear againg and would not change. I can move the gear selector to Park and Neuteral and through all positions of the lever without any friction. But when I initially put car into D in thumps into a gear and if I move the selector lever ro any other gear position there is no down changing or up changing. Your video about the selector makes me think the module you replaced may be faulty. I also have an icarsoft V3 MB Scanner which brings up a fault code when scanning the Transmission control unit that says "Resistance is TOO Low - Selector Lever Coding is Occasionally invalid" Do you think this may be referring to the Gear Selector Module. My email is tiffy106@ozemail.com.au if you could reply with your thoughts I would be very appreciative. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Cheerz Stuart🤢

Thanks for the tip, I've never heard of this before and I'm doing my R129 soon so will get this part also.
"It's actually a piece of cake to do this job."

it can be done but it is pretty painful to do @@alannobakht8503
Did it on my own, with car on jack stands. Really not bad in my experience.@@alannobakht8503
Love your work

Thanks for sharing. No torque converter drain?

Great Job! have you had to program it or just an easy plug-and-play thing?
That socket was a swine when I did mine to cure an oil leak; it's bloody awkward with only axle stands!
Could not tell if the filter went back in exactly right. The top rearward part of that filter has a plastic part that fits up into the trans. And the back of the filter seemed to fall just a bit after the filter and o-ring snapped into place.
he saw this comment and assured me he did lock it in front and rear, probably after I stopped recording
I would suggest replacing the solenoids while youre at it. As well as all small sensors you can easily access. About 4 or 5 of them. Makes a big difference
What sensors are you talking about ?. Any links for those solinoids and those sensors.

and fyi always hit the drain plug with an impact, sometimes its stuck and will only round out if its crusty
Thanks for the leg up on the repair. I can't find anybody to do the job though. Where did u gat that jack?
Excelente video muchas gracias por dejarlo conocer
Mi pregunta es esta poca sirve para el mercedes de 5 velocidades W211 E240 V6 modelo 2003
Nice job! It isn’t actually that hard to change. I have bought an new KYB solenoid i was just wondering how much nm or inch pounds u used in this video to tighten them???
Is it necessary to program these aftermarket cards?
when I put a better performance tune it was blocked leaving the box in security mode...
Did you ever got it to reset?
Who was the seller on Ebay ? I want to buy the same kit.

you need to have the fault codes read from the transmission control unit to find out exactly what it is complaining about.
that is what i want to see. high res super camera. good quality, no pov shaking camera. brilliant good job
You didn't show how to remove and install the connector and also did't show how to engage the shift lever.
it was my first time and it’s pretty self explanatory
Sometimes those transmission filters get blocked
we also saw dirt in the mesh screens of a couple of the solenoids, we also cleaned those out
@@MMWA-DAVE you didnt put new solinoids?
@@garymorrison4675 why, if they work perfectly? We did clean them out.
@@MMWA-DAVE ok. I have 350 k miles on my 2005 sprinter. Was wondering if i needed to buy new ones
