Army,

My governor looks great, but on 722.5 is a measurement for the output shaft for play on the output shaft. Again, we are all learning here. I would have shot-gun the soft parts when the rear case was taken apart in the case of ps2cho. On the 722.5 my clutches are very worn on the rear of the transmission, and maybe the o-ring(s) on output shaft(See post 42) failed? if it is similar to ours?

Rss99,

Thank you for the fan-fare...My transmission is pieces, but I have not officially started to rebuild it. I sort of jumped in to help Spit64, but I guess I opened my trap-door...

Zulfiqar,

Well, I got a little squashed on another thread on here on this forum When I said a typical 722.3-722.5 lasts around 120k-170k miles. I do stand behind that as I'm just W140 fan and I really care less for the other models. W140's are everywhere with transmission problems are occurring at 140k miles. The W140-the heavy-land yacht that is very hard on transmissions, and is full of electrical nightmare of problems.

I think you will do fine on your E300, but my 722.5 was very very worn out of many of the soft parts. I do live in the Western US where its hot,but to extend the life of my current rebuild. I will install a large transmission cooler.

Enjoy all,

I have got myself a tranny fluid cooler - not installed yet, to help elongate the life of the transmission - the E300 cooling system has the heat load of the engine, the oil cooler and the transmission itself.

I believe it should help me get more than usual miles out of it.
