Thank you

+chris manohar Thanks Chris and thanks for watching. How long are you rebuilding for? Gary

About 3... my father has a torque converter company and I been rebuilding torque converters since I was 18 and recently started getting in too the transmissions and really enjoy it

+chris manohar Nice, where are you guys located, im in new york

Thanks for watching

could be yes, K1 clutch could be worn out. Any codes?

Thank you

Problem is the B3 tube, so you may have to remove the valvebody

The later ones take the blue fluid, there is the 7G-Tronic and the 7G-Tronic Plus

Im not sure what those numbers mean. What year car?

All 722.9 transmission from 2004 to 2012 have a 40k miles interval. Newer ones moved to a 70k miles interval. I think 40k miles is the perfect interval for these transmissions.

working on a V/W? Whats the trans doing?

I do not sorry

Look online for good used one

This happens to me on my 06 E500 722.9 when I get on the highway but since my new commute is 15 minutes through streets only it hasn’t done that, would I have the same problem or would it be my conductor plate

@@dannymireles5887 Any codes?

+zech007 Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching. I just getting into the 722.9, the other day i did a plate swap and it went well. Gary

Do you know a lot about this transmission?

Hey thanks for the tip

Hello, sounds like your pump may have let go, pretty common issue with the 722.9. Do you feel any engagement when drive or reverse is selected?

Thanks for the reply Gary! When I select a gear, I hear the electric selector making a sound, however I don't feel engagement if I understand you correctly. I hear the selector for D N P and R, but if I go through the forward gears from 1 to 6 I don't hear or feel anything.

Awesomenesss Prime Hello, If this happened all of a sudden with no warning signs, something inside the transmission probably broke, as I mentioned, it's very common for the pump to go bad.

Awesomenesss Prime Question, you said you did a fluid change, how much fluid did it take when filling it?

Well, around 9 quarts I think. I measured what I collected, then over filled a quart to do the hilarious super-imprecise Mercedes drip level.

dcomputers They are matched together and then programmed. They are vin specific

Are you talking about the 2 bolts in the back of the trans?

@@GaryFerraro yes - they are soft aluminum and one was fractured.

@@GaryFerraro M8x1.25x? torx

D Wall Where does the bolt go? Or send me a picture. My e mail is Gsferraro@yahoo.com

@@GaryFerraro Bolts (2) hold the rear drum. I'll send a picture.

I usually line up the clutch disc's (with a small pick or scribe) hold the planetary gear and try to set it down in place, may have to turn a little but try lining all the disc's up

@@GaryFerraro thank you!

Haven't happened yet

Trans has to come out and come apart, bolts are from the inside

+‫احمد محمد‬‎ I will keep that in mind for the future, at the present time the shop is so busy my customers cars are with me for almost 10 days. I am editing the video for the valvebody, should be up in a few days. Gary Thanks for watching

Gary Ferraro hey Gary how are you doing I have a nag1 from a Chrysler 300c 5.7 I wanted to ask you the car today when I was driving felt like it slipped then it started to make a loud whining noise and stoped going itbjust alowley revved up and whined. The car won’t engage in any gear not and just whines does this mean my transmission is blown? Or could it be something else what would you say since I see you know your nags

Gary Ferraro whats the price on a rebuild on a 7G tronic transmission

sounds like a flared shift, has the fluid level been checked?

@@GaryFerraro yes i have checked i have even changed the fluid

@@paulmudzingwa8611 one thing you can check are the solenoid o-rings, they tend to tear, i had a flared shift once that ended up being faulty solenoids, you can swap solenoids as a test to see if anything changes, swap color for color

@@GaryFerraro thank you let me try it i will update you

+nicholas elias Yes, correct. I think new ones come in the overhaul kit, and i have changed conductor plates on these units as well, they come with pan and valvebody bolts. Thanks for watching. Gary

HOW DO U KNOW?? lol

Not sure i would have to run the vin to see trans type

W2114matics all had the 722.6 5 speed

@@TonySalyer i thought them to have the 722.902 top

I do not have any for this trans, where are you located?

Gary Ferraro I am from France.

Said Ridan your rebuilding a 722.9 ?

Gary Ferraro I would like to. I am a software engineer with a little bit of mechanics background. I spend week ends working on cars trying to get as much experience/skills as possible. I have a 722.9 and I was wondering where I could find parts in order to rebuild it. By the way, I find it very difficult here in France to find someone with big knowledge that would be willing to help me to learn, so thank you very much for all your videos !

May have to go to the internet for parts, my supplier for parts is a company called Transtar. There web address is WWW.Transtar1.com Any questions, just let me know, if you wanted to send pictures also, i can give you my e-mail as well

+chris manohar Yes, thats me. Gary

inside the transmission there is a B# clutch pack, that is the feed tube for the clutch pack

A flared shift is when the rpm will shoot up inbetween shifts, this happens because the clutch or band that is being applied , gets applied late, so the rpm will shoot up for a moment until the clutch or band comes on

@@GaryFerraro 👍🏼. Thanks Gary...Any idea where the subtle clicking sound comes from when I apply good acceleration ? My RPMs aren't jumping around when I get the clicking, but it does occur only when accelerating well and usually in 2nd and after shifting into 3rd (all while I'm Comfort Mode) A lot less of a sounds and for a much shorter period when in Sport Mode. In either case, I say it not a flare as described since there is no RPM jumping and doesn't feel like I'm losing any traction, but does sound like a very subtle/soft version of putting a playing card on the bike are a kid.., but only lasting a second or two depending the amount of gas I apply to the pedal. And though I get zero check lights/codes on my dash, I wish it was something I could eliminate with simply new solenoids? Wishing someone out here might be familiar with my issue. Thanks again in advance for you input! 👍🏼 👍🏼

Are you talking B3 tube?

@@GaryFerraro yes, the small yellow/ish tube that related to eco/sports mode. Im putting valve body and conductor plate back, and currently that valve is plugged at transmission housing

@@monoton9597 That has to be there or i believe the car will not move in sport mode

@@GaryFerraro yes, while putting valve body back, should I plug that plastic valve on conductor plate? Or transmission housing?

@@monoton9597 I put it on the valvebody

Im not so sure a plate swap can be done with a VGS 1 I usually do a whole plate with valvebody, but when i order one, it has to be done with the vin number, i don't think just using any plate will work and it has to be programmed

Hi what about if you have a parts car and originally you have vgs1 transmission in your car and you swap out both transmission and valve body from a parts car that has vgs2-3 would that work and would you still need programming with the new set ?

Christopher Santiago alternator makes whine when low battery charge. Change your battery or your alternator will fail soon

Christopher Santiago as alternator will fail trying to charge the battery

My 2007 E350 made a similar noise. Turned out to be a work bushing in the trans pump. Replaced that bushing (which requires pulling the trans), and it was silent. I know later models replaced the bushing with a needle bearing, but not sure when that change happened.

Im in New York on Long Island, are you in the New York area?

Gary Ferraro no im in Ontario Canada. What would it cost if I brought the transmission to you for you to rebuild it. Let me know at Harman.mezgin@gmail.com

Do you have any codes present for the trans,? the only problem here if the conductor plate has to be changed, the new one has to be programmed and then shift adapts may have to be reset, i have to make a phone call to see if the plate can be programmed without it being installed in the car

Gary Ferraro I can hook it up to the obd reeder and give you the codes. Is there any way I can get in touch with you through a phone call or something? While I do the scan.

The computer is inside the trans, not sure if a code reader will work but try it, is your check engine light on, if the trans is moving off heavy it may be in failsafe mode

Was anything done to the car before this started? Are there any codes present for the trans?

Gary Ferraro No the car is running fine. there is no fault code in transmission.

Motor mounts

I purchase my parts from a company called Transtar

@@GaryFerraro Did they have a own homepage? Coz when I ask Google for transtar the answer is a carrier company in Germany.

should just pull out, is your pump no good?

@@GaryFerraro pomp should be good but now just trying to inspected and having a hard time to pull out the torque converter,I pull out other converters but first time on a 722.9

@@manuelvega4090 I see, should pull right out like the 722,6 units,

@@GaryFerraro thank you I’ll try tomorrow thank you for the rapid respond highly appreciated.

Im going to say yes on that, the 3 is the latest one, it may have to be programmed

@@GaryFerraro how about using VGS2 in place of VGS3

@@mayowaodus6310 I have never tried that but im going to say no on that

@@GaryFerraro I have a Mercedes Benz ml350 2006. At first I had a faulty VGS. My VGS happens to be VGS 3. First VGS2 was programmed and vehicle was stucked in gear2 signal not available for actual and target gears. I kept getting different codes on two of the vGS2 installed. Installed a VGS3 now and I had a brake solenoid failure issue. Do you have an idea of what's wrong. See no reason why I should have different codes from what I initially had (VGS faulty and output speed signal is implausible compared to wheel rpm).

yousef saleh Does it feel like your going over rough road or railroad tracks

Gary Ferraro yes

@@joe09251984 Sounds like converter chatter, do you have a scan tool that shows live data?

Gary Ferraro I do have maxi pro system

Hey gery I do have a machine with live data is there any particular thing u want me to check?

very possible, any codes present?

was any work done to the car and then this happened, is your charging system/battery in good health?

@@GaryFerraro i bought this car with this problem but most likely the battery was dead and they replaced with new. Even the new wan was flat when I got it.

@@mario5te ok, got it, get a new battery in there see what you have

Gary I have tried to relearn gear selector but when it asked me to put in R I couldn't. It doesnt respond at all.

see how it shifts, may need a relearn

@@GaryFerraro thanks so much Gary. Do you know roughly how much a shop charges to do a software relearn?

John Cox maybe 150. Your. Speaking of a shift adapt reset?

Yes sir, local euro mechanic said " a couple hours labor cost"

John Cox doesn’t take that long but probably there minimum charge. Are you by chance in the New York area?

very possible, i do believe there are different tooth counts on the planetary gears.

All 722.9 transmission are the same as far as gear ratios. The difference will be in the amount of clutches per clutch packs and if you have the wet clutch system, those do change in some of the hardware (B1 and k2 assemblies are completely different).

if your talking about slipping, may have bad sprags

Do you have a scan tool to get into the system? if not that year is probably VGS2 05 is VGS1

@@GaryFerraro I have a scanner but not sure it will read transmission feature on the MB. I have a basic scanner and an advance but for another model. Where do you look at the model in a scanner? Thanks.

+chris manohar Very nice, Good luck with rebuilding, any questions let me know. Gary

Ronald Ramos: I don’t know what is the problem with this, I am still struggling to figure it out, if you have any ideas please reply back, any help will be appreciated

Sounds like convertor could be locked up causing car to stall, possible your TCU went bad (famous 13 pin connector leaks and shorts TCU sometimes) this happened on my C63 ended up needing new wet clutch and valvebody which updated me to VGS3 so got all new stuff and ultimately back to new. Fair warning it’s a pricey job as parts are $$$ and not all shops can get the parts from benz so I’d talk to your dealer or good Indy shop by you. - FWIW if you’re handy you can attempt job yourself and find cheap parts on eBay and other sites, but getting it programmed may not be possible as you need special scan tools to get going as TCU ties to the VIN - that’s why I had a shop do it and used all OEM new parts of course - better safe than sorry and get it done right first time. - circuitboardmedics.com/mercedes-benz-722-9-conductor-plate-tcm-repair/

put it back on figured it be better when filming the teardown
