W124 OM606 STD in California
We have a local builder who specializes in mercedes transmissions of all types, complete rebuilds used all over the country and for dealers etc. I explained my plan to use the 722.317 with a high powered 606. He said it is no problem to build that box to handle high torque and power. I mentioned this to whipplem104 and he said the quality of the shifts is difficult to regulate without electronic control. Has anyone here ever used the older, non electronic automatics? I figure I will use it until it breaks and then will either go to the 722.6, or rebuild this one for more strength. People say the 722.6 is so nice that it is tempting to put it in, but I really do not want another controller display to look at, throttle position sensor etc. Unless there is a serious benefit.
Thanks.
