Army,

The bands in the 722.120 are bonded, not riveted, so I assumed the 722.118 would be similar????

The bands are quite pricey, at around $300.00 USD from some suppliers. Here is what I did to cut the costs a bit.

I went to my local salvage yard and pulled the pans from several 722.120's until I found one with a nice looking surface on the drums and bands. Then, I bought the entire 722.120 for $50.00 USD and used the bands out of it. They had been replaced at one time. In fact, you can find many old MBZ's in the wreckers with rebuilt transmissions.

Hope this helps...Robert
