I have a 2002 E430 with the 722.6 transmission. I just changed the fluid. After draining and removing the pan, I went to drain the torque converter, and this one does not have a drain bolt! I pulled both rubber covers and turned the engine over about 5 times before I finally convinced myself that it doesn't have a drain plug.

Have others experienced this?

I did open up the cooler lines under the radiator and got an extra .5 liter out. So, I was able to replace 4 quarts, the filter and clean out the pan, which really needed it. So, I'm glad I did the work, but dissappointed that I couldn't do the complete change.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
