The 722.1 trans was a "good" trans BUT very costly to make.. Shifting qualities were POOR at best!

The 722.3/4/5 trans used many cast parts & was much easier(less $$) to make...

Bottom line...more profitable transmission that shifted better!

AS S-class guru & I posted....don't wait too long or you will need a complete trans.
