Mercedes-Benz E-Class automatic gearbox repair for high-mileage cars
An E-Class often covers distance, and a gearbox with 150,000 miles behind it needs honest advice about repair versus rebuild.
E-Class automatics have been the 5-speed 722.6, the 7-speed 7G-Tronic and the 9-speed 9G-Tronic on later cars. Which you have depends on year and engine.
Long-distance driving is easy on a gearbox, but missed fluid services and age are not. Typical complaints are harsh shifts, shudder at cruise, slipping, limp mode and fault messages.
We repair and rebuild E-Class gearboxes with OEM-approved parts, and every repair carries a 12-month parts and labour guarantee. Call 0808 164 0418 with the registration and we will tell you which gearbox your Mercedes-Benz E-Class has.
