Also make sure that there is a magnet in the transmission sump, the early ones didn't get one but we now put them in any time we have the sump off and it doesn't already have one.
Is there a written technical service bulletin on this? My MB dealer refuses to service the 722.6 because of the "filled for life" slogan that MB adopted and I would love to tell them they need to reconsider this policy.
