Here's the guide I am using:
My attempt at replacing the transmission plug. - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum Seems it is hidden behind a shield. A few posts down you can see his photos of what happens when the seal breaks and the fluid works its way up to the module. Looks messy!

Looks like we are in the clear for coolant!
That's a big relief that the Valeo radiator that was in there for 100k was safe. I think we are golden going forward. ![]()

Pan is dropped...done cleaning it, but wanted to post these...
Barely any "sludge" which is great, but somewhat large (copper?) particles... Seems like it matches what the fluid analysis says... Anything to be concerned about? ![]() ![]() ![]() I gotta say too, the filter design is horrible. I can't get it to "stick" in the position...what's the deal?

Just finished up.
I don't have an IR, but measured it @ 80C on the dash and fluid level was dead in the center of 80C ![]() Shifts seem much smoother now! Photos of plug: Hopefully saved future hassles by getting this plug done. ![]() ![]()

I have a 722.358 tranny on a 90 300 E. I have seen diff opinions on whether to use the Valvoline Maxlife Dex 3. What is anyone's take on this?

If it says it's DexronIII it is OK to use, period.

Max life is fine to use on the 722.3's and Ive used it between my cars for a good 50k. It's just the 722.6 that max life is iffy.
