Technical Service Information Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes introduced the 722 models in 1980. The 722.3 is recovered in most models and the 722.4 was basic open in the 190 vehicles. This exercise covers the conflict between these units in the regulator body and control. The grassroots components , the pumps, wheel sets, drums, clutches, bands are the comparable. This manual covers both the innovational manufacturers message along with both of the changes and updates. We thank Mercedes Benz for the information and illustrations that someone prefab this booklet workable.

o MODULATOR BRACKETS 722.3 and 722.4
There are two size modulator retaining plates. They are illustrated and the groove in the modulator where that fit. A plate fits in the larger groove and the. B plate fits in the smaller groove.
o MERCEDES 722.3 1986-UP TV PLUNGER ASSEMBLY
The TV valve line-up is different in the Mercedes models 420 SEL, 560 SEL and SL models. This change was made the the 1986 model year. Figure 1 illustrates the valve line-up.
o Mercedes 722.3 and 722.4 1980 to 1991 Delay engagement, in all Forward positions.
The B2 piston seal has been replaced with the late type. Part # 107 270 04 32 that is the “T” type teflon seal. The “T” type seal is not flexible and does not seal well against the servo bore wall.
o Technical Service Information Mercedes 722.3 Early Version 1980-84 (6 bolt pan)
The threaded hole in the pump body for the use of a pump puller was originally drilled through the pump support up thru 1984. When installing the pump puller the threads in the pump support are pushed above the surface of the support causing a cross leak with the B3 or reverse clutch apply hole. The (fluid leaks past the gasket and comes out the hole that the puller was installed in. The..later models DO NOT have the hole drilled completely through the pump support.
o MERCEDES 722.4 HARSH REVERSE AFTER REBUILD CHECK VALVE IN PUMP OK
The reverse feed passage is unrestricted, allowing too much oil volume to the reverse clutches.

o MERCEDES 722.3 / 722.4 SEPARATOR PLATE IDENTIFICATION
Illustrated is the separator plate ID in Figure 1 for both the regular 722.3 valve body and the 722.4 which is the 190E plate. You will note that the ” regular” six bolt pan plate has a large opening where as the 190E opening is split. The arrows point to the locations on the plate. The regular plate (722.3) has a late and early version. The early will NOT fit the late valve body but the late will fit the early. Note the difference. The late has a square hole instead of the two orifices in the early. This is the position of the valve body screen.
o MODIFIED BRAKE BAND PISTON B1 WITH PRESSURE PIN
As of April 1986 production the above mentioned transmissions are equipped with a modified brake band piston B1 with removeable pressure pin (previously caulked). The pressure pin (38) is held in place in the piston by an 0-ring 1.0 mm and 1.5mm thicknesses ( Figure 5).
o MERCEDES 722.4 BURNT FLUID
The bellville washer of the K-1 clutch rubs against the planetary-gear carrier of the front planetary.
