I'm surprised manny still remembers
been seeing some other girls since then, but nothing special yet.
For those of you interested in the manual, I actually found one through our forum, here is one link where you can order one manual, you can thank Deanyel for this one, you have to order this one, the next few are free.

This manual, although it came in real handy was missing a few things with regards to my transmission. I found that there are many variations between every transmission, in some you will find a spring in one place, but not in the other, so the best thing to do is write your own manual as you go along, I did this by taking lots of pictures, which I will post a few of for everyone to see.
Another manual can be found here, S-Class Guru pointed me to this one

I actually have not used this one at all, but it's good reference material
Myamar pointed me to this one, so far it's the best, but, the pictures are for the 722.3 transmission, however, all else works just fine for the 722.4 as well, many thanx myamar, this was a life saver.

The ASTG manual was very good for the valve body, and the repair of the hidden orings in the clutch packs, I'm not sure if you can actually find that fix anywhere else, so if anyone is interested, please let me know and I will scan the pages and post them up.
These manuals, a whole lot of parts, and a lot of patience as well as help from this forum is what got me through the project, I have to say that for a transmission this old, it is a very solid piece of machiner. It's inner workings are unbelivably complex, especially if you see the 4 layer valve body, whoever designed it and brought it from a blue print to reality must have been really really smart.
I'll finish this post and in the next one add some pictures for everyone to look at, describing what's inside one of these marvels will take too long
