will this work with the crossfire,

Mercedes 722.6 Conductor Plate Transmission Service Kit - OE Supplier 7226CSK

 

Yes, that will work

 

the 7 mm bolt that removes TCM connector will not come out , can I remove valve body
With connector still bolted in ?

 

NO. How did you proceed?

 

Take a look at your new connector it is a captured bolt. Once you get the bolt lose all the way, you should be able to pull the connector out.

 

I have the same issue 😵‍💫 What to do ??

 

You have a new conductor plate I believe. Look where the plug bolts to the conductor plate. You should see where the new plug that comes with the kit will screw into. and you will notice on the new plug there is only about 1/8 inch of threads that mate with the conductor plate. Use a long nose pliers or better a vise grip pliers and twist and pull at the same time on the 7mm screw head, When it is loose the 7mm will only come out about 1/2". At that point the plug is loose and you pull the plug off of the conductor plate. If you are replacing the old conductor plate it doesn't matter if it gets messed up in removing the plug. It may help if you drain the transmission and wiggle the conductor plate a bit. That may help the threads grab on the 7mm and you can work it out. Good Luck and tell us what worked for you.

 

bought the kit from needswings ,conductor plAte
fluids & new connector plug , where the 7 mm bolt would not come out due to nut spinning in plastic conductor plate , we just went at connector plug , cut it in half pulled on it ,we got the Remnants of the connector out 7 mm bolt stayed in , with connector out we were able to remove valve body and swap out the conductor plate, everything went smoothly after that I’ll attach a few pics of why the 7 mm bolt would not come out. I suspect previous owner overtightened it

The infamous 7 mm bolt 😳

That brass square is what 7mm bolt screwed into the plastic surrounding it was all chewed up which was why we could not loosen the bolt

Connector removed with stubborn 7 mm still in place

New conductor plate installed ready to go back in 👍

 

Don't you just love an hour job that turns into major project. When I changed my connector, I spent an 1/2 hour trying to install new connector. Finally put on my reading glasses and realized the threads were not cut properly. Cheap parts!

I am sure this thread will help people in the future.

 

I had one with no threads , took me a few to figure it out. Dealer exchanged it
