Rebuilding automatic transmissions is far from rocket science. In fact, it's pretty simple for the most part. Make sure you have a place to work that’s clean, an area to disassemble that can get oily/dirty, and some high quality snap ring pliers and you should be good. I’m sure the more modern/electronic they get the more difficult it will be, but something like a 722.x can’t be that difficult. -D > On Jul 15, 2024, at 1:42 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > I watched a couple of vids about rebuilding 722.6s and 722.9s.

I would bet that a new/rebuilt transmission would cost a lot more than "2-3 grand". On Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 3:13 PM Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > This tempts...

[MBZ] Selling due to transmission slipping but drives. 2004 Mercedes-Benz sl-class SL 600 Roadster 2D, $10, 500
This tempts... I believe this is a 722.6 which should be pretty stout so not sure what the problem could be unless it was run low on fluid and abused which is entirely possible. Rebuilds are not difficult once it is out of the car. Looks like a lot of work on it. This engine is actually pretty reliable too. My rational brain says RUN AWAY but my passions say... laws hep me! Twin Turbo 12 cylinder. Renntech Modified, can be returned to stock with device. Absolute thrill of a car. Many services done including ABC struts, motor mounts, convertible roof, etc. I purchased recently from a coworker and the transmission started slipping. Runs and drives but most likely will need replacement down the road unless it is a transmission solenoid/conductor plate or sensor issue.
