Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic 722.6 TCU — new replacement unit

12-month warranty2–5 day dispatchTracked deliveryNo coding required

A brand-new transmission control unit for the Mercedes-Benz 722.6 (5G-Tronic) gearbox, replacing part number A 140 270 11 61. It arrives plug-and-play: no coding, no programming and no data transfer — fit it and drive, which makes it a straightforward job for a workshop and realistic for a competent DIY fitter. Every unit is tested before dispatch, dispatched within 2–5 working days and covered by a 12-month warranty.

Not sure the TCU is the cause? The symptoms and the fault codes we see on the 722.6 are listed under Common Faults. Speed-sensor codes in particular can point either at the control unit or at the conductor plate inside the gearbox — if your codes differ, send them over before ordering.

Which vehicles does this 722.6 TCU fit?

The 722.6 was fitted across most of the Mercedes range, from the C-Class, E-Class and S-Class through the CLK, M-Class and SL to the Sprinter, Vito and Viano vans. Check your exact model and year under Matching Vehicles, or compare the number printed on your own unit with the part number above.

Frequently asked questions

Does this unit need coding or programming?

No. This 722.6 TCU is supplied plug-and-play: fit it, and the gearbox works without a dealer visit or a coding session. That is what separates it from most replacement control units, which have to be matched to the car before they will run.

Do I have to send my old unit in?

No. Because no data has to be transferred across, you can order the new unit and fit it straight away. Keep your old one until the car is running properly, then dispose of it as you see fit.

How do I know this is the right part for my car?

Compare the number on your own unit with A 140 270 11 61, and check your model and year under Matching Vehicles. The same 722.6 hardware appears under several numbers — send us a photo of the label or call 01884 798090 and we’ll confirm before you order.

Is it new or refurbished?

Brand new, not a rebuilt unit. It is tested before dispatch and carries a 12-month warranty. See Returns & Warranty for the full terms.

The gearbox still misbehaves after fitting — what now?

A TCU fault and a mechanical fault can look identical from the driver’s seat. If the symptoms remain, the cause is usually in the valve body, the conductor plate or the speed sensors rather than the control unit. Call us with the stored codes and we’ll tell you what we see on these boxes.

Common Faults

What are the symptoms of a failing 722.6 TCU?

  • Harsh, jerky or delayed gear changes
  • Gearbox dropping into limp mode, or a complete loss of drive
  • No response when selecting D or R
  • A “gearbox malfunction” warning on the dash
  • Speed-sensor codes stored against the transmission
