Automatic

722.9 7G-Tronic / 7G-Tronic Plus 7-Speed Auto — C / E / S-Class

Code: 722.9 · 7-speed automatic

The 722.9 7G-Tronic (and 7G-Tronic Plus) is the longitudinal, rear-wheel-drive 7-speed torque-converter automatic across the W204/W205 C-Class, W212 E-Class, W221 S-Class and the SLK/CLS. Its signature fault is the valve body / conductor plate — rough or jerky shifts and holding a gear are the classic symptoms, and that's often the real fix rather than a whole gearbox. Used units for the W204/W205 are commonly seen around R2,000 to R9,000 in SA. Important: this is NOT the 724.0 7G-DCT dual-clutch — both are called "7-speed" but share no parts, so always tell us your exact model. Request a quote.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Gearbox FAQs

How much is a Mercedes-Benz S-Class gearbox in South Africa?

A used Mercedes-Benz S-Class gearbox starts from around R2,000, with reconditioned units up to about R9,000 depending on the exact box, condition and warranty.

How much does a Mercedes gearbox cost in South Africa?

It depends heavily on the model and gearbox. As a guide from real SA used listings: a 722.6 5G-Tronic (W203 C-Class / W210–W211 E-Class) is often around R3,500 to R9,000, a 722.9 7G-Tronic (W204/W205 C-Class) around R2,000 to R9,000, and a reconditioned 716.6 6-speed manual around R6,500 on exchange. The newer 725.0 9G-Tronic and the 724.0 7G-DCT dual-clutch are quoted on application rather than listed openly. Prices vary with mileage, condition and whether it's used or reconditioned — request a quote and verified suppliers will price your exact unit.

What's the difference between the 7G-Tronic and the 7G-DCT — they're both "7-speed"?

They're completely different gearboxes that happen to share a speed count. The 722.9 7G-Tronic is a longitudinal, rear-wheel-drive torque-converter automatic in the C/E/S-Class (W204/W205, W212, W221), SLK and CLS. The 724.0 7G-DCT is a transverse, front-wheel-drive WET dual-clutch in the A-Class, B-Class, CLA and GLA. They share no parts, so quoting "a 7-speed" isn't enough — always tell us the exact model so verified suppliers source the correct box.
