The Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic (also called 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission with torque converter lockup (typically in gears 3,4,5) and 2-speed for reverse. It replaced the older 722.3 / 722.4 4-speed 4G-Tronic transmission and its 722.5 5-speed derivative.
Itself, it was replaced by the Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic 722.9 transmission introduced in 2003. This turned out to be a very lengthy process stretching out over nearly a decade. Due to its high torque capacity (up to 1000 Nm) and lower cost, it was still retained for turbocharged V12 engines, four-cylinder applications and commercial vehicles for many years. It is still being built for niche applications (Sprinter with gasoline/CNG M111 engine, Jeep Wrangler etc.)
In Chrysler applications this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox Generation One, or NAG1.
