Beck/Arnley Transmission Filter Kit P/N:044-0286
Keep clean, properly filtered fluid circulating through your automatic transmission with the Beck/Arnley Transmission Filter Kit 044-0370 (also written 0440370). Sourced as a direct OE-style replacement for foreign-nameplate applications, this kit drops in for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models, including the 1997-2000 and 2002-2005 C230, 2001-2005 C320, 1997-2006 E320, 1998-2003 ML320, 1996-2006 S500, 1996-2003 SL500, and the 2010-2018 Sprinter 2500 and Sprinter 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 58 applications and engine details.
The transmission filter strains debris and clutch material from the automatic transmission fluid so clean fluid reaches the valve body and pump. Reduced flow through a clogged filter can show up as delayed or harsh shifts and fluid contamination; if a restricted filter is the cause, replacing it during a fluid service is the intended fix. Always confirm the correct application before ordering.
What does this kit include?
It includes the transmission filter plus the o-rings and/or gaskets required to complete the filter installation, and a premium rubber pan gasket where applicable. Confirm contents against your specific application.
Does it come with transmission fluid?
No. ATF is not included. Beck/Arnley advises using the specific ATF formulated for this transmission — check the Beck/Arnley catalog for the correct fluid specification.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It fits 58 Mercedes-Benz applications from 1996-2018. Check the Buyer's Guide tab and match your year, make, and model before ordering.
What are signs the transmission filter may need replacing?
Delayed or harsh shifts and contaminated fluid can point to a restricted filter. Have the transmission diagnosed, since these symptoms can have other causes.
Is this a direct replacement?
Yes. It is application-specific and built to match OE form, fit, and function for the listed Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
