hello to all,
i recently had the same issue with my car, loss of forward. upon droping the tranny oil pan and pulling the transmission fluid filter, i too found the small thrust pin on top of the filter. I purchased a new(longer) thrust pin for the b2 piston, plastic retainer for the smaller thrust pin and put her back together, and all is well... for now .

I've read up on this particular issue on a ton of forums, and the funny thing is that no one has ever mentioned measuring b2 brake band travel...how did you guys manage to measure the b2 brake band travel? i found it to be a pain in the ass! due to the location of the b2 brake band. i happen to have a pretty big vernier caliper and still had no luck. i'd also like to mention that the accepted b2 brake band travel should be inbetween 5.5-6mm(according to the automatisches getriebe 722.3 e-book). I think that it would be very useful for the rest of the members if someone familiar with the procedure could elaborate a bit more on how to properly measure b2 brake band travel?

thanks to all for the useful info

Hey GOZ,

sorry for not replying earlier. how did the job go? did you manage to get your transmission fully functioning again?

when i did the job last year, i was very fortunate to have come across two very useful pdfs: 1. automatisches getriebe 722.3.pdf
2. TransTech722dot3.pdf(the one that you posted)

A big thanks to all of the forum members who were kind enough to post these useful pdfs.

both pdfs are loaded with useful info for the job, however in the transtech722.3.pdf , i found it almost impossible to measure the b2 brake band travel as depicted on page 5 of the manual. so thats why i thought i'd ask if anyone had a better way of doing so?
