Your help is much appreciated. Now that I've got 4 non working transmissions in my garage it looks like I'll be getting some practice!

Have fun !!!

Best keep them in the 4 corners of the garage. Avoid too much parts interchange !!

Final update

I forgot to say I heard back from the dealer and the classic centre in Germany and guess what?

They have no plans at the moment to make any new parts - quelle surprise

So if you need this front planet assembly my top tip is to find a second hand box - good luck.

Guess what I found?

Here's another last comment!

I've been ripping apart a second 722.118 transmission I've got making photographs for another thread (722.118 Automatic transmission rebuild (Monster DIY)) and I found some worn splines on the centre planetary system splines!



So we see that nothing is sacred!

(All of the splines on this gearbox type are susceptible to wear - particularly when mated to a diesel engine)

Advice req'd:- shaft spline wear / measurements / possible fix 722.118 transmission-722_118-middle-planetary-splines-wearing.jpg
