Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

I decided not to take their offer. If I had 10 more years to work, maybe. They wanted 5 years minimum and I really want to retire for real in 3. Plus family matters really made it hard to pull the trigger. Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018, at 7:42 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

No shifting at all. Starts from stop in third. I checked level a couple of weeks ago and it was SAT. I just finished supper so I’ll give it a look and a smell. Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018, at 7:42 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes you

Car knows you’re leaving. I’ll bet you were talking about skipping town while you were in it. So it’s going to extract maximum pain from you until you’re gone. They know, man, they know. -D (who never, ever talks about what he’s going to do with a car in its presence) > On Mar 6, 2018, at

How's the ATF level? Any burned smell? On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 8:01 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Well no, limp mode is it’s stuck in 2nd which is usually a computer deal. > You can probably go 20-30 miles an hour maybe. I now notice he says his is > in 3rd

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

Well no, limp mode is it’s stuck in 2nd which is usually a computer deal. You can probably go 20-30 miles an hour maybe. I now notice he says his is in 3rd and he can go 55. Does it shift thru the gears up to 3rd or no shifting at all? Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018, at 7:49 PM, Andrew

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

I thought "limp mode" meant you could literally only drive at 5 mph. Hadn't realized it has other meanings. On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 8:45 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Lovely. I have no check engine light. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Mar 6, 2018, at 6:37 PM,

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

Usually if it’s the common and easier to fix conductor plate issue you get a check engine light. If you don’t get a check engine light and it’s not shifting my experience is that it’s more likely a more serious mechanical issue with the trans. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018, at 7:28 PM,

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

Could be a number of things. Could be the conductor plate issue, could be a problem with the valve body itself, could be a problem with the computer, could be a mechanical problem with the trans. Will Jane to hook it up to the MB laptop to figure it out. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018,

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

This $500 E300 I have was running like that, flaky shifting though the engine seemed to have power. Throwing codes for EGR and glow plugs. Looked all that up and the wonky shifting seemed to be associated with the EGR issue. I cleaned it up but don’t have it back together again to see how it

Re: [MBZ] My transmission is flaky

I tried stopping and trying to manually go through the gears and it’s all just third gear. What causes it to go to limp home mode? And if there’s annoys me enough I may let you come and take it home. Bob R Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 6, 2018, at 6:25 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes >
