	Adding transmission oil
	Risk of death  caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between columns of vehicle lift and position four support plates at vehicle lift support points specified by vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
	Risk of accident  caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury  caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the engine as it is running	Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes.	AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
		Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
		In order to avoid damage to the transmission, always observe the Specifications for Operating Fluids!
		The transmission must be filled with transmission oil before starting the engine
1	Raise vehicle	The vehicle must be situated on the lifting platform so that it is level in both the longitudinal and transverse axes. Model 216, 221	AR00.60-P-1000SX
2	Check the transmission oil pan for damage and leaktightness
3	Remove rear engine crossmember	Model 204, 212, 218	AR22.10-P-1180CW
		Model 216, 221	AR22.10-P-1180SW
4	Lower transmission/transfer case at rear
5	Prefill transfer case with transmission oil	Remove the oil filler screw from the transfer case, pour the prefill quantity (700 ml) into the transfer case and screw in a new oil filler screw.	*BA28.10-P-1005-01E

6	Install rear engine crossmember	Model 204, 212, 218	AR22.10-P-1180CW
		Model 216, 221	AR22.10-P-1180SW
	Notes on bolted connections with self tapping screws		AH00.00-P-0007-01SF
7	Remove oil drain screw (3) on transmission, mount adapter (2) and connect oil dispenser	The adapter (2) and oil dispenser can be obtained from two manufacturers: Adapter Oil dispenser
8	Pump 6 liters of transmission oil into transmission	In order to avoid damage to the transmission, always observe the Specifications for Opting Fluids  On transmissions which have been repaired the quantity of transmission oil drained +0.5 liters should be poured in.	*BF27.00-P-1001-01C
		Transmissions up to production date 18.06.2010 and all transmissions 722.9 in combination with engine 629	BB00.40-P-0236-14A
		All transmissions 722.9 as of production date 21.06.2010 except transmission 722.9 in combination with engine 629	BB00.40-P-0236-15A
9	Start engine
10	Call up the transmission fluid temperature using STAR DIAGNOSIS		AD00.00-P-2000-04A
11.1	Bring transmission oil temperature to 90 °C/194 °F	Vehicles with additional transmission oil cooler Only with previous removal/replacement  of additional transmission oil cooler. Thermostat opens at 90°C/194°F.  Engine speed 2500 rpm, selector lever in position "P".
11.2	Bring transmission oil temperature to 45°C/113°F	Vehicles without additional transmission oil cooler
12.1	Switch off engine and allow transmission oil to cool down	Vehicles with additional transmission oil cooler Only with previous removal/replacement  of additional transmission oil cooler.
12.2	Turn off engine	Vehicles without additional transmission oil cooler
13	Call up the transmission fluid temperature using STAR DIAGNOSIS	Transmission oil temperature 45 °C/113 °F.  The transmission oil temperature must not exceed the specified value as the overflow pipe (1) in the transmission oil pan is designed for the transmission oil temperature.
14	Start engine and allow to run in selector lever position "P"
15	Pump transmission oil using oil dispenser into transmission	After replacing the transmission and torque converter:  Refill 4 liters of transmission oil. If the torque converter has not been emptied:  Refill 2 liters of transmission oil.
	Correct transmission fluid level
16	Shift through "P-R-N-D" several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine idling
17	Allow engine to idle in selector lever position "P"
18	Call up the transmission fluid temperature using STAR DIAGNOSIS	Transmission oil temperature 45 °C/113 °F.  The transmission oil temperature must not exceed the specified value as the overflow pipe (1) in the transmission oil pan is designed for the transmission oil temperature.
19	Remove the adapter (2)
20	Drain off constant oil flow (arrow a) at specified transmission oil temperature, until only drops come out (refer to correct oil filling capacity (arrow b))	Transmission oil temperature 45 °C/113 °F.  The engine must run at idle speed and the transmission oil temperature must not be above the specified transmission oil temperature, too much transmission oil is drained at a higher transmission oil temperature. If the oil flow is not constant after opening the drain screw, the transmission oil level has to be corrected (as of operation step 15) and then adjusted again.
21	Replace sealing ring and screw in oil drain screw (3)		*BA27.10-P-1001-03D
22	Turn off engine
23	Lower vehicle
