Hey smart people,

I have a 98 W202 C230 with 171,000 and if I'm to believe all that I've read, I blew the planetary in the transmission. Also based upon what I've read, the tranny for this model year is 722.600.

I went to the WrenchAPart today and snagged a tranny from a 99 C230 Kompressor. The donating vehicle looked nice, black metallic paint with no fading. The interior was very clean. It was also a Sport model. The tranny is a 722605 0 and also has 2102701701 on the id badge.

It also has the number R 140 271 26 01.

I've read that if I put in a transmission that is of a different gear assembly that I can have the computer cause problems.

I think I got a good one, but would like some knowledgeable comment and backup.

Thanks everyone,

Kevin
