As per the title I'm struggling to figure out exactly which auto box I have. There is no dip stick. I'm leaning towards 722.9 box with 7 speeds, and would like to order the correct level tube, bolts and filter. Am I correct?
Transmission oil and filter was last changed about 35,000 miles ago by the MB dealer in Jersey Channel Islands, but I've noticed a small leak around the gasket the last two times I've been underneath and removed the shields. Interestingly the gasket on my box looks like cork rather than the rubber gaskets available to buy. Did they change over from cork to rubber because the cork tended to leak? The car is now on 70,000 miles without apparent gearbox related problems but I don't want the level dropping too low and it's now due a fluid and filter change.
