I have replaced 2 CPs (I’m assuming this is a 722.6?) and that usually resolves
problems. Could it be a solenoid? Is the speed sensor a separate part in the
CP, I can’t remember. Or maybe the TCM itself is bad? You could try swapping
one, should be plenty in junkyards or eBay for not much.

In the W210 the TCM's limp-home mode is NOT self-clearing. Likewise, if the TCM
is dead you get limp-home, which is 2nd and R only in the transmission. (These
are
mechanically selected by the lever.) I suspect that the W211 is the same.

Hey Russ,
Thanks for the offer but I managed to score a variety of PS2 mice at my office

Amazingly the first one I tried worked perfectly. It's an HP brand optical

the Atari ST were low power and
