Default Re: MB engine and chassis

Interesting note on the 722.6 auto trans. The one used in the Crossfire is made by MB in Germany, and the one used in domestic MOPARS is made by Chrysler in the U.S. under license. Strange thing is that a specific ATF is recommended for each. Shell 134 or other MB certified fluids are specified for the Crossfire, while ATF+4 is specified for the MOPARS. Have heard that this is the result of different shift programs. Common sense would indicate ATF+4 is fine for the Crossfire, the only result possibly being altered shift performance. This is a mysterious area.
