722.7 Transmission Technical Data

The Mercedes-Benz 722.7 (W5A180, A190) automatic transmission was developed for A-class hatchbacks (A168, А190) with the engine capacity up to 2.0 liters as well as on VANEO (W414) with the same type of engines. The 722.7 is a 5 speed gearbox model for transverse engines with front-wheel drive. It is controlled by an internal electro-hydraulic control module and receives force from the motor by a torque converter that transfers this energy to the oil pump and valve body to control multiple clutches and gears sending torque to the differential, and on to the wheels for propulsion.

The 722.7 gearbox is designed for use on rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive Transversal (diesel and gasoline) vehicles. By its design, the functions of synchronization are performed by clutch packages, two on each shaft. It is the first transmission on which the electronic control unit was placed inside the box and combined with the valve body, connecting it to other electronic units with a two-wire data bus. Oil: ATF Mercedes (capacity 7.5 liters).

Preventive measures include well-timed cleaning of the VB unit, or well-timed change of the TC lock-up clutch after gearbox travels 150-200 thousand kilometers.
