27.20 Torque converter
Date
04-07-2015
Validity
Vehicles with TRANSMISSION 722.9 (7G-TRONIC
PLUS) from production months 04/2011 to 12/2013
Reason for change
Added Fault codes to validity
Reason for block
Complaint:
FC 2783 (Friction power of torque converter lockup clutch is too high) or FC 0741 (Actuation of torque converter
lockup clutch not possible) stored in transmission control unit. One possible additional customer complaint could be
"poor acceleration" e.g. due to engine intervention.
This can affect all 722.9 transmissions (7G-TRONIC PLUS) from the production months 04/2011 to 12/2013. The two
fault codes can also occur in combination with rpm sensor faults (see also the relevant GI or LI). The rpm sensor fault
is not connected with this complaint.
Cause:
Cause for TRANSMISSION 722.9 from ID 03.318.709 to ID 03.979.899 or from ID 07.019.944 to ID 07.247.699
Increased wear of torque converter bearing bushing. The cause of this may be a rough microsurface of the journal at
the transmission end.
Cause for TRANSMISSION 722.9 from ID 03.979.899 to ID 03.999.999, from ID 05.000.001 to ID 05.392.283, from ID
07.247.699 to 07.716.823 or from ID 10.000.001 to 10.083.989
Possible slight internal leakage at sealing ring between transmission input shaft and torque converter lockup clutch.
Remedy:
Remedy for vehicles with ENGINE 271
Update transmission software. Erase the fault codes in the VGS and reset the lifecycle data of the torque converter
(see below for instructions).
If no newer transmission software is available, proceed as described under "Remedy for vehicles without ENGINE
271".
Remedy for vehicles without ENGINE 271
Disassemble the transmission and the torque converter and then sand the transmission input shaft with a 15 µm microfinishing film as described in the attached instructions (use the finishing film/strip 1x only). The finishing film/polishing strip can be ordered as a consumable from the GLC.
The torque converter must also be replaced here (please order as per EPC).
Observe the following (the flex plate must be installed):
1.) Clean torque converter mount in crankshaft using brake cleaner.
2.) Remove fretting rust from torque converter mount in crankshaft using suitable emery cloth (grain size: 120).
3.) Again clean torque converter mount in crankshaft using brake cleaner (compressed air if necessary).
4.) Grease mounting pin of torque converter with multi-purpose paste before installation.
Additional note (valid for all repair methods described here which instruct replacement of the torque converter)
After replacing the torque converter, the lifecycle data of the torque converter must be reset as follows:
