After letting the Jag stand for a few days I noticed a small leak of ATF fluid on the garage floor. I climbed under and noticed the AT pan was all wet.

I think it's time to change the pan gasket, and put in a new filter and fluid.

After reading a few MB sites re: the 722.6 I noticed quite a few mentions for changing the harness end plug adaptor as well - any opinions on this? Seems like a simple enough plug and play press on item.

(This MB site seems to especially have good info:
Mercedes-Benz 722.6 Transmission FAQ - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

This is the plug mentioned to leak most of the time on the 722.6:
722.6 13-pin connector - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum)

Looks like my shopping list will be:

1. 722.6 Gasket
2. 722.6 Filter
3. Titan ATF 4134 fluid (6 liters)
4. MB 722.6 Dipstick tool - I assume this is a standard 722.6 MB part I can simply ebay? (I'd prefer the actual part, though I know some just use a wire)
5. 13 pin connector?

I would like to go with all OEM parts and not take any shortcuts. Any recomendations for sourcing these parts? Has anyone bought these directly from an MB dealer before?

Thanks!

 

I think you may get better responses if you put this in the XK8 forums if you're asking questions about an XK8.

 

You're right, I just noticed this, the XK/XKR / XK8/XKR links always get me!
