W204 gearbox Identification help.

[whitefang]

Hi all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Hope all is well.

Can I ask please...
My w204 CDI 220 ,2013 January,
It's automatic & a lovely car to drive.

My ask for help is...

I went onto a vin decoder website to see what the car came with from factory.
The information came back with this & that..also with a automatic gearbox number (or transmission number).

It is ....
722908 07 516421 [transmissionType = GA]

Could 1 of you folk please tell me my gearbox number...722.6 ... 722. X
I think but could be wrong ...722.9 .

Also.. could 1 of you folk tell me please...
I heard that to change the gearbox oil...to refill that you have to pump it in from the drain hole.. is that right.?

Thanks all for a nice little start to 25 ...lol.

Have good day.
Thanks

This is correct. It is drained by removing the sump, and via the drain plug on the torque converter.

It is filled via the drain hole.

Also, the transmission is officially known as the 7G-Tronic Plus transmission (or 7G+ for short). The 'Plus' is important when purchasing service parts as it differs from the previous 7G.

I have one of them as well , but I didn’t want cross contamination of brake fluid and ATF so I used the eBay pump which is great for diff oil as well .

O yeah.. very good man.
So as long as fluid is going in, there don't need to be a lot pressure pumping it in.

Thanks markjay..
So mine is the 7G+. ?
