What transmission do I have

[zack48]

So I have a 2003 s600 v12 brabus and the transmission is no good and i was wondering what exact transmission it would be. Ive looked on all the verify by VIN sights and all the info i get is that its a shiftable 5 speed. if anyone could tell me the exact transmission code for these cars it would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way will likely be to get under the car and check the number stamped into the housing. It will start 722.6 then xxx this will indicate the exact box for your car

If you can find 6 gear when you are driving you don’t have the 5g 722.6 (you would have the 7g 722.9 gearbox ) .
I would think you have the 5g , if you have a dipstick tube in the engine bay for the gearbox this will confirm it . (The 7g box doesn’t have a dipstick tube )
There will be a black cap on the tube

Is it not likely that Brabus would have modified the original box to cope with a tuned V12? Therefore it may not be a straight box swap - contact Brabus and ask them what they are likely to have done.

The non Brabus S600 transmission has two different codes depending on the engine fitted and the Vin#
Take a look at your V5 or check the Vin on the A pillar or windscreen
If the first 6 numbers of your Vin are 220176 then you have an M275 engine and a 722.649 transmission.
If the first 6 numbers of your Vin are 220178 or 220878 then you have an M137 engine and a 722.628 transmission.
