Good news.

I don't have a procedure for checking conductor plate issues. Check the shop procedures at this site and in the W210 forum at benzworld.org. I seem to recall there are procedures for replacement.

The 722.6 uses graphite in the clutches. Normal wear causes the fluid to turn brown, then black. I've seen it inky black, like oil from a diesel, and there was no problem with the transmission. So don't read anything into the color in your photo.
