722.6 Valve Body 2005-2020, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 722.6. Ships fast from the USA.
The 722.6 five-speed automatic stayed in Mercedes-Benz production for the better part of two decades, and this OEM remanufactured valve body is bench-tested to cover the long 2005-2020 run of that transaxle. If your C-Class, E-Class, ML or Sprinter from this window has gone harsh or hesitant between gears, or the dash has thrown a pressure control or shift solenoid code, the valve body is where that complaint almost always starts.
Inside the 722.6, the valve body is the hydraulic routing center for the whole transaxle. Line pressure from the pump passes through a stack of precision-machined bores and spool valves, and each bore directs flow to one clutch pack or band. The shift and pressure control solenoids mounted on the body are what the transmission control module actually commands to time every gear change, so when a bore wears or a solenoid seat weakens, pressure control gets inconsistent before it ever fails outright.
Pull the stored codes with a scan tool first, since a worn bore and a failed electrical connection can produce similar complaints on this transaxle. Our 722.6 valve body symptoms and testing guide walks through the vacuum-test method that isolates which bore is leaking pressure, and our 722.6 common problems and fixes guide covers the broader list of failure points on this transaxle so you are not swapping a good valve body for a problem somewhere else in the unit.
This valve body is remanufactured to the casting used across the 2005-2020 production window, which spans more than one internal revision as Mercedes-Benz updated the 722.6 over its long run. Match your transmission tag and connector pin count against the listing photos before ordering, or send your year, make, model and VIN so we can confirm the exact build before it ships. The 722.6/722.9 transmission parts collection carries the earlier and later valve body revisions if your vehicle falls outside this specific window.
Drop the pan and filter before pulling the old valve body so wear debris from the failed unit does not carry into the replacement, disconnect the solenoid harness connector, and remove the mounting bolts in a crossing pattern so the separator plate and check balls stay seated. Refill with MB 236.14/236.15 approved ATF and check the level at operating temperature through the fill plug, since this transaxle is not checked with a dipstick. Clear the stored codes and run the adaptive relearn through a mix of light and moderate throttle shifts before judging the new shift feel. A 722.6 transmission service kit is worth installing alongside this so the fluid and filter are fresh behind the new valve body, and a 722.6 clutch drum is worth inspecting if the old unit was already slipping under load before the valve body failed.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It's remanufactured to the 722.6 casting used across that window, which spans more than one internal revision. Match your transmission tag and connector count against the photos, or send your VIN so we can confirm the exact build.
Harsh, late or flared shifts especially on the 2-3 and 4-5 changes, delayed engagement when hot, torque converter clutch shudder at cruise, or limp mode with a stored pressure control or solenoid code.
A scan tool reading plus the vacuum-test method in our 722.6 symptoms guide isolates a worn bore from an electrical fault, since both can produce similar shift complaints on this transaxle.
MB-approved 236.14 or 236.15 ATF, checked at operating temperature through the fill plug rather than a dipstick.
Fresh fluid and filter at minimum. If the old unit was slipping under load before the valve body failed, check the clutch drum and friction material too.
This is an OEM remanufactured valve body with a 1-year warranty.
