Durable as it is, the 722.6’s internal wiring gland typically starts leaking with age and causes electrical faults.
Typical failures
These are the reasons this gearbox usually gets replaced — check your own symptoms before ordering:
- valve body wear — soft or delayed shifts
- torque-converter lock-up clutch wear, vibration at steady speed
- skipped oil services — the fluid needs changing about every 60,000 km

Where to find your gearbox code
The gearbox code is the decisive detail: the same gearbox model was built under several codes, and they differ in ratios and software. There are three places to find it: the type plate on the gearbox casing, the equipment sticker on the first pages of the service book, or ask us — we check it against the VIN. Send the code or the VIN with your enquiry and we will supply the right unit.
