Hi, I have a 99 E320, so obviously this thread is of interest to me. To contribute, I believe I've read that the 722.6 transmission can show premature wear if the driver shifts from reverse to drive while the car is still rolling backward.

Gilly, in the ML forum, I thought you were recommending changing the transmission fluid at 80,000 or 100,000 miles for maximum life. Wouldn't that apply to the E Class too?

Thanks for your contributions.
