This is the best mechanic video ive seen on youtube. Fast and informative tells you everything you need to know and shows you how to do so in under 5 minutes. Idk about you but i dont always have time to watch someone ramble about a sensor for 15 min
Wow, you explained everything really clearly without taking a single second more than was needed, and the camera angles showed exactly what we needed to see. Excellent work.
It took me a little bit to find this video I ran down a rabbit hole. But this is exactly what I needed for a Porsche 911. The Porsche dealer said they would have to replace the transmission.
Thank you, the reason I made it in the first place was I couldn't find a good video on this conductor plate, and all of this footage is actually part of one of my warped perception episodes!. Glad you liked it
@@GearzCustomsHyderabadNot that I’ve seen… If you have issues after installing quality parts, chances are that you either have mechanical/transmission issues internally, or there’s some other electrical issue going to the conductor plate/connector. Unless it’s an issue that prevents you from getting up to speed or driving normally up AND down through all of the gears; you can find a way to log the transmission data (shifting quality, torque converter lockup, etc.) from the TCU, in live time.
2001 e320 symptoms were a harsh upshift from 3rd to 4th gear. Transmission code was 110 n2 n3 rpm sensors implausible. Replaced the conductor plate and all is good. The n3 rpm sensor was cracked on the old conductor plate. Thanks for your video.
Question!! How would you know if it’s a solenoid and not the conductor plate? I just ordered my conductor plate brand new it’ll be here next Thursday but I just want to know what did you find out to realize that it was the conductor plate and NOT a solenoid? Help please
Super easy man. Thanks for keeping it straight forward and simple. Can't wait to try this to fix my diesel Benz. It's in limp mode, drives but only in 1st gear. 11 codes come up on obd2 reader. I bet this is the fix. Thanks guys!
@@danielaguilar7781 no, took it to a trans shop, he put it on the computer, transmission is fine. It's my ABS control module that is out. When that's out, it will not let you drive out of 1st gear. Couple ways to check is drive in soft soil, and try to engage brakes hard to slide, if ABS Is not felt in the pedal, that's your problem. If you wanna talk more, hit me up. I learned a lot about mine recently. 928-240-3184

Great instructional video. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to do this. It always amazes me how many whiny, complaining misfits find something negative to say, when someone offers free advice based on their experience, which helps others. When I pulled mine, the solenoids were missing the covers, any suggestions? Thanks again.
your very welcome, thats one of the reasons I uploaded this video, I over-torqued and stretched my bolts the first time i ever changed one of these conductor plates, thanks for the feedback.
Hi great video thanks im having problems with my c200 will drive and reverse but won't change gear !! I have removed my conductor plate as per your video excellent instructions iv ordered a new plate !! My speed sensor did seem a little lose ..but contacts didn't look broken !! How stiff was the speed sensor on your new conductor plate? Im just hopping this is the problem with my car thanks again for video.
Good video. A couple of points: the plug sleeve needs a 7mm socket to undo the little bolt in the middle of it and when refitting the valve body make sure the green plastic U piece on the sliding rod engages with the gear change. You can check from underneath that the gear change is engaged.
Thanks for the video. You glossed right over how you removed the conductor plate from the valve body. I removed the 3 bolts holding the selenoids in place. That is still not letting go of the valve body.
As someone who has dealt with the headache of trying to find affordable, quality parts for Mercedes/VW cars, FCP Euro is by FAR the best place for all European cars period.
Thank you for the video and I followed your instructions and now my c240 is running much better. Again thank you and I did order the part from the vendor that you recommended.
Hello, how many miles had done by your old conductor plate before changing it out?. Did you replace any other item?. My year 2006 car does not have a shifting problem but has done 130,000 miles. The past owner had changed the transmission oil in 2020. I would like to keep trouble my car until 2030. Regards.
My best compliments for the video, well done...A question, please, once changed the new conductor plate, and fit all the rest...did you had to make new electronic configuration of the 722.6? Your answer will be appreciated a lot...thanks Ciao Marco

1999 Clk 200 w208 I changed the automatic transmission oil, the filter is ok, I tightened the crankcase, but I cannot stop the oil leak, with what torque is the crankcase tightened, thank you.
Thanks! I have a 2005 C320 4 matic, and lately its becoming sluggish or hesitant. Recently the transmission at times wont go past 2nd gear, other times its just fine and can be driven on the freeway etc.
Hello do you have to do any programming after you replace the conductor on the '06 Mercedes?? I bought the whole thing complete revolved body conductor and the solenoids so I'm wondering if I will install that in my vehicle the new one do I need to do any programming?? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank You 4 vid. I wonder, my plate doesent had those yelow covers for solenoids, is that mean it was already opened or just another date manufacturing ?
hello, thank you for this interesting video, I have the same problem with a box in lame mode and a code P0730.... I changed the plate but still the same....impossible for Mercedes to access the box nor a friend, I'm leaning for the crappy connection below.......thanks again
When doing this be sure to change the 13 pin adapter (probably in kit). I've found I get around 70,000 miles out of them before they fail causing similar symptoms as conductor plate.
I was told you have to program the conductor plate with the Transmission control Module. If your video is correct i will save a ton of money by doing it myself. So your saying I can just change out the conductor plate with no programing?
I have a 2006 Mercedes Benz E500 RWD (NON 4MATIC) I was looking at that same kit but mine is a 7 speed transmission, so my question is does it fit ???? It says part may not fit since it says 4MATIC I think what do you think ? Should I just buy it or will it cause my car harm putting that conductor plate?? Any links to the right conductor plate I should be buying ???
@@aarondunne3519 you only need to re programme the 7G gearbox (7 speed auto box) the older 5 speed gearbox (5G) does not need programming you can just swap the conductor plate
I followed this and installed new conductor plate and filled car will fluid and the gear shifter won’t physically shift out of park ? how do u install the shifter rod assembly on the valve body? That the MOST IMPORTANT part of this whole job! ?? Yet I don’t see where u covered that in This video
Great video! You drove it after all of those repairs, without having to have the TCM reset? I thought it goes into limp mode, 20mph max. Also, I'm confused to why a company would grind off embossed logos on the conductor plate, unless it was a knockoff part.
I think many people do it for peace of mind. I plan to have mine reset soon, along with getting the fluid level checked. I was told by a wise person on the LX forums, get it reset. My Magnum is currently getting suspension work done, sitting on jack stands.
No need to reset the ecu for 722.6 there just some 3-4 fault codes that put you in perma limpmod, that means that you must clear the fault code memory first, normal limp will reset after you switch on/OFF on ignition...
@@kennigen5739 - I did a few things to the VB, upgrades, 1/2-2/3 new fluid. Dealer reset everything months ago for me, peace of mind. It's been running great!
I don’t think the knockoff parts mold will have Mercedes on them. I think it’s either an original NOS Mercedes part, or manufactured with Mercedes tooling… but not actually cast by Mercedes,,, thus a reason to remove the brand.
I replaced my Abs ring on left rear axle & car stopped shifting speed sensors read with the multimeter fine u think the conductor plate can be the issue ? Just ordered it car won’t shift
The speed sensor is designed to have some up and down movement to it. If it was intended to be ridged they would have just simply molded into the plastic frame like everything else is. The reason it is hold on by nothing but the metal leads is so it has some movement. Its wrong to assume that any movement is the cause of it failing because it isn't.
Absolutely agree. I was never by any means saying that was the failure here, but that movement is the known cause if speed sensor failure according to Mercedes.

If you're getting them from FCP Euro then it's the OEM manufacturer for Mercedes. If you're getting them from somewhere else I have no idea.
