Mercedes Benz W211 E240 V6 Gearbox 5 Speed 722.6
Product Overview
This used 722.6 five-speed automatic gearbox was removed from a Mercedes-Benz W211 E240 V6. This version of the 722.6 is calibrated to handle the higher torque output of the V6 M112 engine, matching shift points and load capacity to that pairing. This unit was taken from a running vehicle and checked for shift behaviour before being listed.
Key Features
– Original 722.6 five-speed automatic, V6-matched for the W211 E240
– Verified smooth gear engagement through all ratios before removal
– Correct internal calibration for V6 torque, not a four-cylinder unit
– Genuine used Mercedes-Benz unit, not a rebuild or generic swap
– Suitable replacement when the current gearbox is slipping or shifting harshly
Compatibility & Fitment
Fitment: Mercedes-Benz W211 E240 V6
Transmission Code: 722.6
Placement: Engine Bay / Transmission Tunnel
Condition & Inspection
This gearbox was tested for gear engagement and checked for fluid condition and leaks prior to removal, with particular attention to shift firmness given the higher torque load of the V6 pairing. Wear consistent with normal use was found, but no slipping or delayed engagement.
Installation Information
This unit bolts into the original W211 E240 mounting points and driveline. A full fluid and filter service is recommended at installation, along with confirming the transmission control module matches the V6 calibration.
Advantages
Using a genuine V6-matched 722.6 gearbox avoids the mismatch risk of fitting a four-cylinder-calibrated unit to a V6 engine, which can cause harsh or incorrect shifting. It’s the correct, factory-matched way to restore proper transmission behaviour on an E240 V6.
