How to identify your transmission by the stamped code on case housing

Identification of a Mercedes Benz Transmission, or (Gearbox) as they are also referred to, can be accomplished by following these guidelines.

Locate a code that is stamped on the exterior of the transmission casing. See image >

This code will help to decipher several factors including: Part Number, Version, Number of Forward Gears, Automatic or Standard Shift, Input Torque, Production Number, etc.

By retrieving this code, you will be able to locate the corresponding transmission manuals in our database that can help you perform service and repairs as needed on your gearbox. Model to Transmission Application Chart
