Has any early (2001) XKR owners with the Mercedes 722.6 transmission noticed if there were two magnets in the oil pan on removal? SNG Barrett does not show them and I had none when I dropped mine out, not even the drain plug was magnetized. Why would Mercedes deem them necessary but not Jaguar?

 

Did a trans flush on my 2000 XKR last week and I also wondered why I had no magnets in the pan?

 

Here's a breakout of the 722.6 notice no magnets are indicated.

 

Thanks Jamdmyers,
That is strange. All the 722.6 Mercedes videos show removable magnets. I just bought a new pan from the local Mercedes dealer as mine was slightly warped, they threw in a magnet for just 34 Cnd, they were wearing a mask!

 

1999 XKR and no magnets inside pan. Noticed also same that some 722.6 do have factory set magnets inside pan if I recall right.

Solved this by adding 2 dismantled hard drive magnets outside of pan (not bold enough to put em inside)
