And there are service people at the dealers who will tell you that there is a service interval on the 722.6, last I checked this is NOT true, the dealers might want the work, but MB still says "no". Possibly to cover their butt, because if the people who have had to buy a new trans found out they are now recommending a change, they probably would start a class action lawsuit.

So I don't know if it just makes me sound like a fatalist, but I still think either you have a good one or you don't, OR it might be due to other circumstances like how the car is driven, easy or hard.

I don't mean to be argumentative, jsut wanted to make it known that there is another school of thought on the care of the transmission. Myself I certainly wouldn't due it until I was into the 100K mile range.

Yes that paper that was handed out was a hoot. I think I might still have it somewhere, was just handed out in a tech update class in Chicago.
