Mercedes has used the 722.6 transmission in a
number of different vehicles and in combina-
tion with different engines. To accommodate
these different vehicle and engine combina-
tions, different converters were needed. Many
of the converters were similar in appearance and
only differed in their bolt circle or diameter.
In 2004 Daimler-Chrysler Corp. started using
the 722.6 transmission in the Chrysler 300. By
2007 there will be 11 part numbers to cover the
range of Chrysler 722.6 converters.
Torque converter rebuilders may find they
never knew how easy they had it when they
only had the Mercedes versions to identify.

This could be especially problematic if a
converter wasted out and a replacement core
had to be found. It was not uncommon to try
to line up the converter bolt holes to the
flywheel and find that the bolt circle was
one-quarter-inch off. Even worse was when the
pilot, bolt circle and overall height matched up,
but you had a performance issue because the
replacement converter was almost an inch
different in diameter. The latest Dacco catalog
does a good job of identifying these converters.
The chart in Figure 1 shows which part
numbers were used with which engines and the
years they were produced.
The major outward differences between the
Chrysler-made and Mercedes-made converters
are the pilots and the bolt circles. The pilots on
all of the Chrysler converters are about .040"
smaller than the Mercedes converters. The
Mercedes converters are available with 9",
9-1/4" and 10-3/4" bolt circles, while all of the

Chrysler converters (with the exception of the 3.0L diesel, which
will be available in the Grand Cherokee in 2007) use a 10-3/8" bolt
circle. The 3.0L diesel converter is also unique because the bolts
enter the converter mounting pads from the transmission side.
Referring to the chart in Figure 1, you can see that in 2007 the
clutch in converter No. 5137631AA changed from a two-stage
clutch apply to a single-stage clutch apply and became part No.
4752580AB. You can tell because there is only one number in
theNewton/Meter rating of the damper (28.5 NM/Deg). The previ-
ous years had two numbers (20 and 70 NM/Deg).
Some of the Mercedes-built converters also have Chrysler part
numbers. These converters will have Mercedes-size pilots because
they are usually found behind Mercedes power plants. The Sprinter
vans and Chrysler Crossfire are good examples of these. The Sprinter
converters were first used in 2002 behind the 2.7L diesel engines.
They evolved with the 2.8L and 2.9L engines through 2006. The
Chrysler part number is 5104567AA and crosses over to Mercedes
part No. 9032500002. The Crossfire uses two different converters:
the 3.2L non-turbo is part No. 5098047AA and crosses over
to Mercedes part No. A2102500702. This is also Dacco part No.
MC18. The turbo-charged 3.2L Crossfire uses part No.
5137842AA, which crosses over to Mercedes part No.
A2112500302. One nice feature of having Mercedes-built
converters used in Chrysler applications is the Chrysler identifica-
tion numbers on the outside of the converters.
Hope this information makes identifying converters a little easier.

Chrysler has made it easier to identify its converters. The part
number is on the white bar code tag as seen in Figure 2. If the bar
code tag is missing for whatever reason, the part number is also dot
peened into the impeller. The 10 digits shown in Figure 3 contain
the part number and the build date. The first three numbers and two
letters are the last five digits of the converter part number. The first
four dot peened digits after the part number show the converter
build date.
