(02-02-2013, 01:17 PM)TheDon Does any 722.6 work with the controller, even 722.605?
Hi yes it work width any 722.6
But alway try to find as new as possible, they had only got better and better during time, there has been made a lot of changes during the years.
And the strongest is W5A580


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-03-2013

I was just curious because I am almost done getting a 722.605 out of a 2000 C230 Kompressor. The 2002 CLK430's front end is mashed, trapping the engine in place so Its very difficult to remove the engine and trans.


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-11-2013

More questions

I was reading your document on the controller and the part related to the gear lever,

"Gear Lever and plug (it has to be the one with a “1” see red squre on picture)
And the plug is a 10 pin, and have 8 wire out, thats the one we need
If you are in the Marked for a GearLever, be aware that the GB (RHD), ones is also mirrord, compared to the LHD ones, an other thing is that the one from W210 is longer then the W202, and R129 it is the short that fits the W124 and older G class, "

So, if I find a gear lever set up from a W202 or R129 with the "1" it will bolt in to my W124?

Secondly,

The 722.6 is an electronic out put for the speed, I believe the 400E uses an electronic spedo, so is there a way to make it work with the 722.6?

Lastly,

The throttle position sensor from a w210 is needed for the conversion, how did you implement that into your car? I am curious to see how it receives throttle position and then the injection pump also gets input from the cable.

Yes i have heard that the W202 Gearlever should fit in an W124, but to be 100% shure, visit a scrap yard and have the W124 original and a W202 in you hands to compare, meaby someone here knows for sure ?

Regarding TPS sensor.
Think as it this way. the throttle cable is moving the lever on the Injection pump all mechanically. but at the same time throttle cable has to move an TPS sensor, as i need that signal to know the momentum of the engine Hard/soft shift.


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-11-2013

I plan on playing in the junk yard with parts, as long as I can find a W202 with that type of shifter, I found 3 W210's with it but that wont fit.

I'll meditate on your words on the TPS sensor. I think I may have an idea how it works.I might be able to adapt the bowden cable mount for it and just make a linkage for it.

I am saving up for one of your controllers!!

Take a good look at this picture, The TPS sensor is mountet below the Crouse controller, by an homemade bracket, but if it not has cruise controle, there is a lot more space to make something special


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-11-2013

I see what you did there. You mounted it to the cruise control actuator. Smart!


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - raysorenson - 02-14-2013

You can also mount a string potentiometer. This type of pot may give you more installation flexibility than a regular pot since the "string" part could replace any lever that might be used to rotate the potentiometer.

Olefejer, can you set up the voltage for the pot the way you want? Ex: 0-5v or 5-0v, or if the installation doesn't provide for full travel of the potentiometer can it work with 1-3.5v and vice versa?

Almost any Potentiometer would work, also linear
1 - 3,5 volt is fine, actually there is a setup TPS menu.
Where you press the joystick up width 0% trottle.
And then flor it and press the joystick down,
Then the controller know the 2 points and transform to 0 - 100% trottle
it do not accept 5 - 0 volt, but just switch the 0 and 5V :-)
This is settings for the MB sensor
0%=75 is 75/1024*5 = 0.37 Volt
100%=903 is 903/1024*5 = 4.41 Volt

How much does one of these controllers sell for? Sounds awesome, I have been wondering about adapting a 722.6 behind my 617a. I thought it might be possible with a 722.6 from a Chrysler product that has the starter in the same side as a 617?

Hi The price for Controller + (LCD / Joystick) + Capling 450€ = 600$
But not the plugs as i have not found a good source.
Here is one i made, he send me the plugs and i put it on to the wiring harness.
And last if the Chrysler gearbox plug is the same it should work.


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-17-2013

For those interested in this swap the gear lever is important.

But for the w124 you need one from a w202 or R129 because the w210 and others won't fit. I did a little experimenting at the junkyard.

[Image: 5B3998E6-D624-4223-93B3-54181E88164B-173...407f28.jpg]

It bolts in and everything but the cross piece for the switch mounting and gear lever would need to be trimmed. Plus the wood trim would also need to be trimmed to fit.

I just bought an R129 gear lever from ebay for $62 shipped. They originally wanted $99 plus shipping but I offered $50 and they took it.It just needs a knob as well. Once I receive it ill inspect it for any liquid damage.

I also didn't score any TPS's from the 210's in the yard. They were all taken. Sad

You just post all you want, nice information. anyone can use.
By the way the TPS sensor is also mounted on the C Class from 1996 and up


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-18-2013

I went by what it looked like so I left the tps that I found. I guess I'll have to grab one ASAP!

Only thing left now is to get your controller.

Would you happen to know if the output yoke will work with the 124 flex discs/ drive shaft? I haven't done any measurements yet


side note, the 722.6 does not come with any form of dipstick. I thought the junk yard people had removed the dip stick(I think they trash them all or maybe other grab them before I can) But the car was missing it, I just discovered in EPC that its just a cover that goes on the dip stick and a separate "dipstick tool" is required to check the fluid level.

I am not sure that you flex discs will fit, as i think they are smaller on the W124 you have to measure,

The 722.6 Newer has a dipstick, but you need one to fill it correct, and that is weary important that it has the right level.
But you can make you own from a thin white PVC pipe or something,
You can see measurement in this document, almost at the end

RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-22-2013

Mine came with a dipstick but was missing the locking cover. I ordered a new cover and lock and will order the dip stick tool. the 722.6 has to have the exact fluid level or it can do damage

RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 02-23-2013

I believe up until the early 2000's they had dip stick tubes. The cover has a red lock tab that is broken to unlock it and replaced every time you need to check the fluid.

[Image: 538293_10151220267856534_700272287_n.jpg]

See, dip stick tube included.

11 Euros for the tool is nice, they go for about $16-20 on ebay here for the knock off version or $80 for the official version from Samstagsales.com

Also has anybody had the 2 side by side to see how far off the bolt pattern is? I have only ever heard of one 722.6 being adapted to a 617 by the guy who sells the PCS controller but he was unable to tell me who it was.

Hi
No it is only for the 722.6.
The 722.9 is CAN controlled.
But the complete controlunit inside the box can be taken out, and the wire form the solonoids controlled directly from the controller would be possible. but a lot of special work on the gearbox to get this to work.
And a lot of software work for me.

Would a 722.6 fit a 190D 2.5 OM602?

I think it would have a problem fitting in the tunnel bay?
722.6 looks much thinker then the 722.4.

The 722.5 does fit, so i have to decide if im going to use a 722.5, or a 722.6
(I really want a fifth gear in a automatic)

And is your software opensource? Its arduino based right?

Hi
No the software is not opensource, and it will not be. sorry
And yes the Board witch hold the Microprocessor is Arduino. (MEGA 2560)

But I constantly try to make it better.
I now work on an option,
Where you can rate the last gearshift, if you think it was to hard, you push the joystick down after the shift, then that exact SHIFT at that exact LOAD will be more gentle next time.
There will be 10 point for all shifts
It makes it more unfriendly.

Hi Yes sure it can be adjusted no-matter if you use external speed signal or the signal calculated from the speed sensors in the box


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - TheDon - 03-23-2013

There is a dakota digital box that can convert the signal wave to compensate for differential ratios and speedo head ratios.

Hey yes it is possible i can send any data to an RX/TX serial Port at the speed you want maybe 9600 baud,
But to send data back to the controller to control it, is not possible


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - Mark_M - 03-27-2013

You could possibly adapt the meters of this project http://dmn.kuulalaakeri.org/vnt-lda/ to dispaly live data. There is this version as well http://dmn.kuulalaakeri.org/dmn-edc/ which is more gauge orientated. You will need to do a bit of work to get it all to work but they are good examples to start from.


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - syche - 05-10-2013

Hi All.

Olefejer, do you have an input in the controller for a brake sensor, or maybe 2 actually. (one would already be great thought)

We could possibly adjust 1 or 2 inductive sensor on the brake pedal, like small braking and heavy breaking.

From there you can control with Brake force vs gear selected and engine rpm the automatic down shift while braking or heavy braking.
It is more and more inputs, but i think that can be a nice feature for people who pull loads or simply want to improve engine breaking. Your device can probably manage that as well, just as the newer gearbox do.

I tried that on a recent G 300 professional and it is great, the gear shift down on medium braking and stay there until you re accelerate.

Just an ideaAngel

Hi
Thanks For the input, that is always great, :-)
I still have enough input to make enhancement, actually 2 opto isolatet
inputs to take the 12V direct from the brake switch.

I will think about it.

But i thing that most Mercedes G Class people run it in manually when they are racing.


RE: Gearbox Controller 722.6 ver 2 - syche - 05-12-2013

Hi Ole.

Well, not really talking about racing, but more like pulling heavy loads or simply mountains roads.

You don't want to use the brake switch since this one would be too sensitive for the down shift, you don't want to down shift when you just feather touch the brakes.

1 sensor would already be great i think, it reduce the need for brakes and ease the drive. On top of it, for G's amateur, the brakes aren't the best on most models, that would be a nice feature.

I think the engine doesn't matter, it's a gearbox controller with a boost control feature, it was specifically designed so that th transmission would ignore the engine.

Good days Mr Olejefer,
As i understood u have a means of controling a autogearbox, independent of the car and engine electronics?
If so, would your controller be able to control a 722.6xx wich came out of a w203 270 CDI, when installed in a w124 126, with a 605 N/A engine converted to STD with a PES5 60C320 RS 21 injection pump?
If so , is this controler able to control the gearbox in the same order of work expected from a manual gearbox, i mean shifting up und down , WHEN I WANT, with the exception of reverse?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi Barrote
Yes to all.
You can run it in automatic, if you want. or shift to manual, where you deside when to shift up and down.
you can use the paddle input for manual, or microswitches to give up / down shift commands.

Hi Tim
The Only one working rigth away is the PRND4321 type, this has a 10 pin plug where i get information on the position.

But if you set up the Controller to NO GearLever, then the controller can still find out if you are in P/N OR R/D, that is just enogth to have a working system.
Then you can take the GearLever apart and mount 2 microswitches 1 for + upshift and 1 for - downshift, and then connect them to the manual input on controller, that can work, but a bit difficult.
I my oppinion paddle make more sence ;-)

What do we do if our gear shifter doesn't have the plug? On nearly all the ones for sale on ebay the plug is just cut off.
