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

Offer a few $100, haul it off, take off the wheels then offer it on CL for whatever you paid, engine, etc. You need to rent some space to do this stuff! --FT On 10/29/17 4:07 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Owner says the transmission just grinds when you put it in drive or reverse. Sou

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

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. -D > On Oct 28, 2017, at 9:08 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > It looks better than the E$500 dizzel. The wheels are

It looks better than the E$500 dizzel. The wheels are nicer than the sorta spoked ones on the dizzel. Get it for $500, fix or replace tranny, flip it. I bet replacing that tranny is a puta of a job though. --R Sent from iPhone > On Oct 28, 2017, at 9:02 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote
