Post Routine Tranny Service

You must drop the pan and replace the filter or you're wasting time and effort .

As mentioned, the Mercedes torque converter has a drain plug that requires a 5MM ATF allen tool to remove, this is important because it acts like a centrifuge and traps dirt & silt in it .

Lazy 'mechanics' will always come up with B.S. about new fluid ruining and old tranny......
