Introduction to the<br />

“<strong>722.6</strong> Transmission”<br />

The Mercedes <strong>722.6</strong> transmission made its first debut here in the United States in 1996. It is used behind 4, 6, 8<br />

and 12 cylinder gas engines as well as their diesel engines. It is their first completely computer controlled<br />

transmission and their first to have a transmission with a converter clutch. This electronically controlled 5 speed<br />

automatic transmission consists of 3 compound planetary gear sets, 3 multiple disc clutches, 3 multiple disc<br />

brakes and 2 free-wheel clutches, the 5th gear acts as an overdrive gear. The Electronic Transmission Controller<br />

(ETC) controls transmission operation matching engine performance during the shift phase. The driver can<br />

choose between 2 driving programs, "S" for standard driving programs and "W" for winter driving programs.<br />

Winter option provides a second gear start and a higher gear ratio for a reverse movement. Standard mode<br />

provides a first gear take off and a lower reverse gear ratio.<br />
