NOTE:
During assembly, particular care must be taken when handling the sealing surface of the oil distributor plate cast in the transmission housing. The utmost cleanliness must also be ensured. The transmission will only function properly if there is no dirt on the transmission components or in the oil circuit. For this reason, always remove sealant residues after dismantling, wash all parts carefully, flush out oil channels and blow clean with compressed air.
Rubber seals must not be permitted to come into contact with benzine, which may attack the rubber. Use alcohol to clean rubber parts. Also ensure that the parts do not come into contact with woolen cloths, as any fuzz adhering to the parts may result in malfunctions.
In vehicles with 4MATIC, the adapter housing with internal gear is fitted in place of the rear transmission cover and 3-arm flange. The repair procedure is largely identical for both versions.
