Detailed Description
TC Remanufacturing MC17 is an automatic transmission torque converter for 1994-1995 Mercedes-Benz S420, S500, S600, SL500, and SL600 applications. The MC17 uses a non-lock-up design with a medium stall setup, making it a fitment-specific replacement for vehicles that require the listed diameter, spline count, pilot dimensions, and 3-pad mounting pattern. If you are sourcing a Mercedes-Benz S420 torque converter or a Mercedes-Benz SL600 torque converter by part number, MC17 provides the key dimensional and mounting details needed for selection.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Replacement Reasons
- Transmission shudder or vibration during acceleration
- Slipping or inconsistent engine-to-transmission coupling
- Incorrect stall behavior after torque converter wear
- Fitment issues when replacing a damaged or mismatched converter
- Noise or drivability concerns tied to converter failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the converter codes, bolt circle, pilot dimensions, spline count, and mounting style before installation. Confirm the transmission application matches the listed Mercedes-Benz S420, S500, S600, SL500, or SL600 fitment for 1994-1995 model years. Proper transmission flush, inspection of the front pump, and checking for debris in the system are recommended before installing a replacement torque converter.
Quality Assurance
TC Remanufacturing supplies transmission hard parts with application-specific specifications for accurate fitment selection. Use the listed dimensions and vehicle coverage to confirm the MC17 matches your transmission requirements before installation.
