Folks,
I replaces a B2 piston probably about 2009 with someone and I remember it being
extremely hard to remove from the transmission ... this was with the
transmission in the car
I would do what it takes to remove and replace it since you are in so deeply

I have the cover off the B2 piston. the piston is aluminum, and dated
1991. the outside looks significantly different from the new one. It
has a 115 277 60 38 part number, where the new one is 107 270 04 32 .
I have the piston partway out, and now can't get it back in, or out
without

If you have any problems with slipping due to the

installed it in my TD march of 2013 about 6 years

Oops forgot to ask:
Anyone have the P/N for the B2 kit and the k3 spring? I assume those
will have to come from a dealer.
I think the banjo fittings to the oil cooler are 10mm, so I ordered 4 of
10x15x1 copper seals. Is that right?
I used to have the instructions for the k3 spring, but
I found front / rear seals. Anybody have part numbers for the shifter
seal or the oring for the secondary pump on the side?
Thanks
The fluid seemed ok so I think reseal - install is the route to try. I
am concerned about 38 yr old orings inside, if there are any.
I think you have your answer, clean and re-seal, install and operational test.
We'll be looking forward to your full report!
One of those threads recommended soda blasting to clean, it absorbs the oil and
grease and falls off, but gentle on the transmission.

For the most part a good snap ring pliers and compressed air are the main
things. I’m not familiar with the innards of an MB transmission, but on the
domestic stuff the specialized tools were mainly seal drivers and things to
hold clutches and pressure plates together while you put snap rings
There is a thread on peach parts that documents a 722.? rebuild, either a .3 or
a .4. Rebuild kit was only $150 or so, and the ATSG rebuild manual was
sufficient. I think the fellow fabricated any special tools he needed from
wood, his first time into an auto trans, and all it took was loads
thanks Dan. Makes sense. This is a one year only AT used in 1981. It
has no cable for throttle position. If I can get seal numbers they are
easy to get from a bearing house. B2/K3 Probably Autohaus, but maybe
one of the others.
Out of curiosity, what special tools are needed to repair
I’ve done THMs (turbohydramatics - GM products) and C3s (Ford) back in the day.
Not difficult to work on, and require a minimal amount of tools other than a
high quality snap ring plier set.
When I went to tech school to train as a mechanic I was pretty familiar with
every system in a car
Speaking of simple automatic transmissions I thought this C4 rebuild video as

If it was out of the car I would probably replace all the external stuff I
could get to, that is, seals like the front pump seal, tailshaft, selector rod
shaft, B2/K3, vacuum stuff, etc. Not sure I would tear into the internals
unless absolutely necessary. I’ve rebuilt domestic slushboxes,
I'm getting some of the projects ahead whittled down so I am beginning
to think more about replacing the dead trans in the 81 240D. I have a
used trans from Kaleb that is supposed to be good. However the seals
are old and so are all rubber parts. I think I should put in new seals
for sure.
