Could be a flex disk maybe. I am betting the output flange or the back plate of 
the trans could be swapped out just like on a 722.3

The hook is that the variant of the 722 transmission that works with the 4Matic 
transfer case is unique to that drive train.  You can’t just slap a regular 2WD 
722 and have it work - the output shaft of the transmission is totally 
different as it’s been explained to me.

Since the seller doesn’t know what I would offer, if the people going to see it 
tonight don’t know what they’re looking at or lowball them, I suspect I’ll be 
hearing back.

The wheels are worth probably $400-$500 if they’re not dinged up, and they 
don’t appear to be from the few pictures there are.  I can think of a number of 
other goodies I would strip off the car for my W210s and then I would just 
scrap it.  Too bad, as the engine is good in it, too.  I jsut don’t have a 
place or need for it.

Doubt it.  Based on my knowledge of the 722.6/9 it’s probably the center shaft, 
which has a bearing that can fail and allow the shaft to rattle around inside, 
doing a pretty significant amount of damage.

I’ve got a buddy on the west coast who knows these boxes inside and out, so 
I’ve asked him what he thinks.  I’ll report back what he says.

Owner has someone coming to look at it this evening and said they’ll let me 
know if they pass.

The 4Matic version of the 722.6 is unique in the output shaft area. If he 
tranny is indeed toast, there’s no reason to pursue it, as they are hard to 
come by.

Get it for $500, fix or replace tranny, flip it. I bet replacing that tranny is
