This video illustrates how to replace the Conductor Plate on Mercedes Benz 722.6 5 Speed Automatic Transmissions.
The Conductor Plate is a component of the transmission that eventually will malfunction as the vehicle ages. Sometimes the speed sensor built within the Conductor Plate fails causing erratic shifting, in other cases the float may fail causing the transmission fluid level warning light to come on, in other cases the contact points that send the signal to the Shift Solenoids may corrode creating shifting problems in between gears.
The Conductor Plate in this 2000 Mercedes Benz C230 Sport was not malfunctioning yet, we replaced it as preventive maintenance.
There are two links mentioned in the video, the first one explains How to Replace the Wiring Harness Connector that attaches to the Conductor Plate, highly recommended to replace this part at least every 100,000 miles:

The second link explains how to replace the Transmission Filter:

Which one is the pressure regulator solenoid?
If I disconnect it, will that stop the slipping while shifting, because it will work on full pressure?
Does the TCM need to be reprogrammed and what is the charge?
Can this set off the po720 code? my transmission keeps slipping on hard acceleration plus i have no overdrive working but my mercedes doesn't have a engine light on and isn't giving out any codes.
You didn't tell us the size of the drain plug
thanks for this super video & your time to share this valuable information >dd
how much was the conductor plate???
The Torx socket bolts holding the solenoids in place are torqued to 8 N·m (71 in.lbs.).
I broke the head on the center screw on the connector…it spins freely and doesn't disconnect from the housing. How do I get it out now? What's the secret?
Hello can I reuse the transmission fluid I just empty?
would a replacement one of these need recoding to the vehicle or is it just plug n play?
I have problem on my Car Mercedes CLK 5 Speed When I drive Car W all shifting is okay but when Change to sport make 1_2 not good shift
Hi, This video was great, thanks very much!!! Any chance you could provide new links for the DIY on the wiring harness connector and the transmission filter? They current links are no longer good. Thanks so much!
ATF fluid shouldnt to be regular red fluid, if I'm not wrong? great video btw.
Is it ok to clean the oil from the solenoids and other sensitive ares using 'electric contact cleaner'?
WHY??? Because I just want to know and i couldn't get any info on this so far
Many thanks
Great video, Thanks
please help me. code appear when ignitin second time to turn clockwise, about 10 second. cod is 700
Thank you for the great video.
Thanks man I have to replace this part on my Jeep SRT8 (NAG1 tranny). Saved me lots of bucks!
If you buy Made In China stuffs, please try to assemble connector to the plate first before installing. I bought one and the hole in the plate is larger than the screw in the connector. I lost 2+ hours. My 2000 CLK430 is very tight at the connector
nice video i make Mercedes videos to great job so Professional
I would like to know how to remove the connector, please
Perfect! Too the point and complete. Thank you!
I've flushed the fluid, replaced the filter and Orings in the past, now I feel comfortable doing the
conductor plate. Lucky me, no oil in the TCU.
Nice stuff!
I have a 1995 C180 Mercedes Benz. I'm having a weird problem with my
transmission. Its automatic transmission. If I'm accelerating smoothly, when it
shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, the car jerks, like it‘s pushed forward all of a
sudden or like something hits the back, and then everything goes back to normal. If I press on the pedal and
accelerate fast, this doesn't happen. All other shifts are normal, it’s only
the shift from 1st to 2nd gear when accelerating slowly. Could it also be the conductor plate that might be causing it?
