Title: "Reshoeing" Tranny Brake Bands - Pls Advice
Post by: SilverSpear on July 26, 2020, 21:58:40

Since this is not your usual DD, half ***ed jobs are not allowed period  ;D . While refurbishing the tranny off my car, brake bands were deemed dry and need to be replaced or overhauled.

For months now, been looking for replacements, well... found only a generic one made by Dexol so I grabbed it in hope to find another with no luck. Contacted Dexol worldwide to see if any branch carries another but hit a dead end. Now I am stuck with basically a new one and my OE set in need of overhaul.

Hope anyone can help here. I either need another brand new one or a company who has extensive experience refurbishing those. I stress on extensive because I will need to ship my set from overseas and reship them back... and I hate taking things apart twice because of a manufacturing defect.

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi,
have you here: https://www.niemoeller.de/de/w113/w113/B044/273/.
Sometimes it's cheaper you buy a second transmission as part dispenser.

Check with a transmission rebuilder. Sun Valley Automobile Dismantlers in Ca. used to rebuild a lot of these. Maybe they can supply you with parts?

Thanks Gary, appreciate it.
Thank God my apartment is in Beirut Suburb, some 25mns away from the port. Just 1 cracked glass.

Listed back to 1970 but your trans is no different. Should be designation 722.2.   If you scroll down under bands it has physical descriptions.
