Why do you want to replace the timing chain?
So i work for a repair shop got an idea
So i have a 2007 s550 it needs some work engine wise
Tried to look it up on Google but can't find info about timing chain replacement and whats involved only shop cost seen one for a 90s model v8. And it was already torn down.
I got access to either a 2 post lift or 4 if i need it but not sure how long it could take so won't be doing it that way unless its really needed. Also access to every tool i could need and a very expensive scan tool.
Don't have the coin for a fsm (im cheap haha) would rather find a video to see what what's involved and if its something i can take on.
If i do this what else would be worth replacing it has 120k and only gets driven about 4 miles a day currently to work.

Do you have any other codes besides the transmission code? Anything in M.E.?
I don't see many stretched timing chains on that engine series, that's why I asked. The more common issue is the balance shaft but you don't have the codes for that.
