K1 spring kit part number? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Johnhef · #1 04-03-2008, 07:30 PM

Anyone know the correct part number for the K1 spring kit? I can't seem to find the relevant thread I had seen within the last month that had a link with pics etc.

The number I have is 126 270 44 77 which doesn't come up on Fastlane or ********. I'm about to put in a big order and would like to get this while I'm there, so help asap would be appreciated!

I bought this kit 126 270 44 77 from my local dealer (MB of Huntsville) and it included a 2 or 3 springs and plastic parts. The price was only $7.00 and it took 2 days to get.
When I first gave them the part number they said that it wasn't a good number because it was not in the EPC. About then another guy came by and said that he would look it up in another system and he found the number.

On those type parts, the Dearler is always the best bet..
And they don't charge s/h.......
They have quite a system..you call on the phone and the guy plugs some #s in , comes back to the phone and says "We got one in New Jersey, can have it here 1/2 days".... and it WILL fit.

I believe that the kit is for all of the 722.3 transmissions. This is one of the few internal parts that you can purchase from MB for the valve body. It is my understanding that this is an upgrade.

I recently rebuilt the transmission in my 1995 E320 and used this kit. I couldn't be happier with the results. The transmissions shifts perfectly and there is no 2-3 flare or harsh shifts. I spent about $700 on original parts and gaskets. This was the first automatic transmission that I had ever taken apart but with the excellent documentation available on line I found the job quite enjoyable. I took my time and ordered additional parts as required during the reassembly. Total downtime was about 8 weeks but that included a 2 week vacation during that time.
