560SL Transmission Rebuild 722.313

Hallo Bob,
That's really interesting. I also overhauled my transmission, but when I was researching spare parts, I never came across a transmission repair kit. I didn't find anything about it here in the forum either, although very few people here repair their transmissions themselves. Thanks to your post, I found them on eBay.de from German sellers. Unfortunately, I don't need them anymore. However, the brake bands are missing from these kits (sorry, I don't know the correct english term).

Hi Thorsten, the brake bands are available here if needed. One website is: Cobra Transmissions and another is transtar. For your rebuild, I am assuming you replaced the K1 and K2 drum rivets with threaded bolts? Did you fabricate yourself or purchase a kit for these? I am using the factory manual on the 722.3 as well as an earlier version of ATSG manual. The latest manual does not seem as thorough as the earlier manual.

Dear Bob

Please take a lot of pictures.
I will have to do this job too, sooner or later.

Best regards
Daniel

Hello Bob,
I didn't drill out the rivets on the K1 and K2 because the seals were still in good condition. The WIS describes how to check the seals. I'm not familiar with the ATSG manual.

If you haven't planned to, I would definitely open and clean the control valve box, but be careful with the balls. They can be lost very easily. Be sure to take photos of them, it will make reassembly easier.

I do plan to document with pictures/video and post.

I intend to replace these seals.....call it, just my personality type........
