i need to replace all of that cuz it been sitting there for 6yrs the car has been sitting for 5yrs can u recommend me what to do and what atf to use thank you

All, Here's a very comprehensive set of instructions on how to change the transmission fluid, filter and drain the torque converter of the 722.3 transmission. Specifically these instructions were made for a 560SL, but as our E500E transmissions are so close to the one illustrated, these...
