jmr89 - 3/24/2015 8:32 AM hello How would one drain the torque converter on the 722.6????? Thank you explain please Under the bell housing (which contains the torque converter) there is a rectangular cover, pull this out and you can see the torque converter. Using a large pry bar, rotate the torque converter until the drain screw is pointing straight down. Make sure you have a replacement seal washer, this is not a good place for a leak. EDIT: Make sure the motor is only rotated in the correct (normal) direction.

I have religously changed mine, and it is always red and fresh smelling when I do. This vehicle is on 320 000 km and the transmission is not half as well behaved as my wife's C class that is sealed and has nearly half a million on it.
I think in future that if it is red and smells of celery then I will leave it alone. |

on the converter no drain plug Then it can't be drained. Past a certain serial number they omitted the drain plug.
