| Predecessor | 722.5 & 4G-Tronic |
| Successor | 7G-Tronic |
The Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic (also called 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission with torque converter lockup that replaced the older 722.5 5-speed hydraulic transmission and most of the 4-speed 4G-Tronic transmissions. It is in the process of being replaced by the Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic 722.9 transmission which was introduced in 2003. However, all V12-powered cars such as the S600 and S65 AMG still retain the 5G-Tronic, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb-ft, as the newer 7G-Tronic is limited to 542 lb-ft, not enough to handle the torque from the V12 engine.[1] Also, while rear-wheel drive W211 E-Class cars have adapted the 7G-Tronic, those with 4Matic retain the five-speed automatic, although the current generation W212 E-Class released for the 2010 model year has dropped the 5G-Tronic entirely, except for four-cylinder models.
In Chrysler applications this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox Generation One, or NAG1.
