Maybe someday I'll have to crawl under my cars out in the garage to find some part numbers.
Would you believe that a 1999 ML 320 (V6 powered SUV) has the same tranny as a 2006 SL 65 (600+ hp roadster)?
Believe it!
You would never know by driving the two. However, the AMG cars will use different programming and in the case of the SL 65 they use a few different internals as well. Those internal differences are the reason they have different part numbers but they're all 722.6 transmissions.
My proof is in my Mercedes parts catalog.
