While I was away 200 1977

I readily admit that I was very rude in my last post...I'm very embarrassed about that and extend my sincerest apologies. That post became far more personal that it ever should have.

"since my last post I put a new clutch in a lovely old 1966 122S owned by a customer of mine for over 15 years. In 1989 I rebuilt his M40 transmission and filled it with - guess what - Dexron ATF. The same oil Mercedes Benz began to use in their manual transmissions in 1955. That M40 I lifted in and out today has covered over 110,000 miles since I first filled it with Dexron. It is still quiet and smooth."

Sounds like a beautiful car, and I have absolutely no doubts that Dexron works well in an M40, but the M46 is a completely different gearbox, and one that was not designed with Dexron or Mercon in mind.

Have you ever filled an M46 with Dexron? If so, what were the (long-term) results?

Take care.
