722.6 Valve Body 2010, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 722.6. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2010 Mercedes-Benz that suddenly shifts hard, hesitates before it drops into gear, or has thrown a stored pressure or solenoid fault is usually pointing at the valve body rather than the clutch packs themselves. This listing is remanufactured to the 722.6 casting used for the 2010 model year, for C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class and Sprinter owners who want the part matched to their build instead of a generic part number.
Think of the valve body as the transaxle's hydraulic switchboard. Pump pressure arrives at one end and the body's bank of precision bores and spool valves routes it to the correct clutch pack or band the instant the transmission control module calls for that gear. On the electronically controlled 722.6, the shift and pressure control solenoids bolt directly to the body, so this single casting carries both the hydraulic logic and the electrical actuation the computer uses to time every shift.
Pull codes first. A worn valve bore and a failing conductor plate connector can produce almost identical symptoms on this transaxle, so confirming which one you actually have saves a wasted install. Our 722.6 valve body symptoms and testing guide walks through the vacuum-test method shops use to isolate a leaking bore, and the 722.6 common problems and fixes guide covers the conductor plate and speed sensor failures that can mimic a bad valve body on a unit with this kind of mileage.
This valve body is built to the casting Mercedes-Benz used in the 722.6 for the 2010 model year. The 722.6 covers C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class and Sprinter vehicles from 1996 on, plus the Chrysler and Dodge Sprinter, and the casting changed more than once across that run. Before you order, check your transmission tag and the connector pin count on your old unit against the listing photos, or send us your year and VIN so we can match the exact revision - that match is what keeps shift quality right after the swap. The full 722.6/722.9 transmission parts collection carries the other year ranges if 2010 is not quite your build.
Drop the pan and change the fluid and filter at the same time you swap the valve body, so debris already circulating from the worn unit does not contaminate the replacement. Disconnect the solenoid harness before removing the mounting bolts, then torque those bolts back down in the factory sequence 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 has no dipstick. Once it is buttoned up, clear the stored codes and run the adaptive relearn through a mix of light and firm throttle shifts before judging the feel. If the conductor plate on your old unit was also showing corrosion or heat damage, pair this with a conductor plate, filter and gasket service kit, and if the transmission was slipping under load before these symptoms started, check the 722.6 clutch module as well.

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 in the 2010 model year, covering C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, M-Class, GL-Class, R-Class and Sprinter. Confirm your transmission tag and connector pin count against the photos, or send your VIN so we can match the exact build.
Harsh, late or flared shifts (especially 2-3 and 4-5), slipping between gears or no upshift under load, torque converter clutch shudder at steady speed, or limp mode with a stored solenoid or ratio code.
Mercedes-Benz revised the 722.6 valve body casting and connector design more than once over its long production run. A 2010-coded unit matches the bolt pattern and connector your 2010 car actually has, instead of an earlier or later revision that may not seat correctly.
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 conductor plate shows corrosion or heat damage, add a conductor plate and gasket kit, and check the clutch module if the transmission was slipping under load before the valve body symptoms started.
This is a remanufactured valve body with a 1-year warranty.
