Only 5 liters of ATF? Can that be correct, or are they assuming you’re not draining the torque converter? Has to be…

Once little secret I will give. Don’t buy the $200 dealer part, as far as I can tell and have researched the $60 kit all over eBay is the exact same part. I have used many of these and never had a problem. I don’t use the filter, connector plug etc that comes in the kit though.

A lot of cruft, most likely, which after running a report to capture everything he should clear all codes, then drive the car for a few days at least if it doesn’t goof up. At that point call it an anomaly, hitting the shifter to the “manual” side, or heat, who knows? Or, if things really are going south or potentially borked, the scan he’ll do in a few days after clearing out the cruft will reveal what’s going on in the present. I’m no proponent of cheap Chinesium scanners, but for the $150 or so that one costs, the amount of information you can get from it even if you’re not planning on doing the work yourself, is invaluable. I especially like the one I recommended to AZBob, as it has a built-in feature that allows you to email a copy of the scan results with codes and links to OBDII resources if it’s an OBDII code. I know Floyd had one that borked, but mine has held up just fine with limited use. -D On Jul 9, 2024, at 2:23 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes <[email protected]> wrote: This suggests a failing CP given it might be temperature related.

Any codes would suggest inability for TCM to talk to the conductor plate (I’m assuming 163?). The TCM is under the steering wheel a bit to the left, you can pop off the connector and see if there is any fluid that has wicked up. If not check the connector at the transmission for fluid inside it. If those are dry it’s likely CP time which on a 722.6 is not expensive but a bit of a bother to swap (not as much as 722.9). Figure $200-250 for new CP and fluid and filter (which you should do anyway if it’s been awhile). Plenty of utubers on how to do the job. Valvoline Maxlife is a fluid you can use. —FT Sent from my iPad On Jul 9, 2024, at 1:43 AM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes <[email protected]> wrote: After going to the Diamondbacks game to watch another crushing defeat, I got in the ML and started driving home and it wouldn’t shift out of what felt like second gear. I initially noticed it was very sluggish taking off (like it was taking off in second). I’m guessing that’s limp mode. No nasty lights on the dash. Drove home taking surface streets. Ugh. Now what?
