AND PUT THE NEW ATF ABOUT 4 LITERS.. THATS PROBABLY WAS BAD ..I DID NOT KNOW HOW MATH FLUID WAS THERE BECAUSE THE RADIATOR WAS DAMAGED AND FLUID WAS DRAINED FROM TRANSMISSION.
NOW I GOT
Mercedes 722.6 Transmission Fluid Dipstick Repair Tool
AND MADE NORMAL LEVEL.
THE CONNECTOR WAS ALMOST CLEAN NO FLUID .
BUT STEEL STAYING IN LIMP MODE..
MY ELECTRIC MAN SAYS IT PROBABLY ABS COMPUTER PROBLEM. BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHT ABS ASP BAS BRAKE PEDS AND CHECK ENGINE STAY ON.
THIS ONLY WAY TO TOWING THE CAR TO ELECTRIC SHOP AND FINED OUT THE REAL PROBLEM. ITS ABOUT 280 MILES FROM MY HOME...

I hate to tell you this, but I think you put the wrong ATF in your transmission. You didn't say what model you have, but since you purchased a 722.6 dipstick tool I'm assuming you have a vehicle with the 722.6 transmission. If that's the case, Mercedes says to NEVER use ordinary Dexron ATF in the 722.6 transmission. You are only supposed to use the Mercedes brand ATF from the dealer. If you did put Dexron in a 722.6 transmission, I would recommend changing it ASAP. Here is a link that will give you the correct part numbers.

I wouldn't have too much confidence in the guys at NAPA knowing that the 722.6 and newer transmissions can't use Dexron ATF.
