722.6 Valve Body 2015, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 722.6. Ships fast from the USA.
Sprinter owners usually find this part after a van starts flaring on the 2-3 shift, thumps into gear, or locks itself in second with the check engine light on in the middle of a delivery route. This remanufactured 722.6 valve body is matched to the 2015 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 with the five-speed automatic, and it ships as an assembly: valve body, solenoids and an updated conductor plate with its connector, so the electrical side of the transmission is renewed at the same time as the hydraulics.
In the 722.6 the transmission control module lives outside the transmission and does its work through this assembly. The module reads the input and output speed sensors on the conductor plate, then pulses the shift and pressure control solenoids, which in turn steer oil through the valve body to the three multi-plate clutches and three brakes that make up the five ratios. The modulating and working pressure regulators in the casting set how firmly each element applies. A heavy van that tows, idles in traffic and runs hot for hours works those regulator bores hard, and once they wear, pressure leaks away during the shift and the module sees a slip it cannot correct.
Pull codes with a scan tool that reads the Mercedes transmission module, then check the fluid level with the dipstick tool at the proper temperature, since a low Sprinter will mimic a failing valve body. Speed sensor codes point toward the conductor plate; slip and flare without electrical codes point toward bore wear in the casting. Our 722.6 valve body testing guide explains the vacuum-test method shops use to find the leaking bore, and the pressure control solenoid symptoms guide covers the solenoid side.
This unit is listed for the 2015 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 with the 722.6 five-speed, the vans sold under Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner badges by that year. The OE reference numbers given for this unit are A 140 270 00 69 and A 140 270 06 06. Not every 2015-era Sprinter uses this transmission: Mercedes moved some Sprinter drivetrains to the seven-speed 722.9, which takes a different valve body entirely, such as the 722.9 valve body. Read the tag on the transmission case, match those numbers and the connector to your old unit, or send us the year and VIN. Every other version is in the 722.6/722.9 parts collection.
If the pan shows heavy clutch material, the 722.6 master rebuild kit covers the frictions and seals needed for a full overhaul.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. This is a 722.6 five-speed valve body. A Sprinter with the seven-speed 722.9 needs a 722.9 valve body. Check the tag on the transmission case or send us your VIN.
The valve body, the solenoids and an updated conductor plate with its connector, remanufactured and tested as one assembly.
Use an ATF carrying Mercedes-Benz approval 236.14 for this transmission. Do not use ATF+4 or a generic multi-vehicle fluid without that approval.
Possibly. Second-gear limp mode is the module protecting the transmission after a fault. Low fluid, a leaking case connector, a failed speed sensor on the conductor plate and worn valve bores can all cause it, so read the codes and check fluid level first.
Yes. The module learned its shift timing around the worn valve body. Reset the adaptations with a capable scan tool and drive through every gear so it relearns on the new unit.
