I wanted to thank you for your video and saving me $1000.00...my ML 320 was doing the "crazy" Erving and not knowing gear it was end! I would pull over...turn it off and restart it and it was fine!! This weekend, that trick stopped working....I stopped at a international garage and was told I needed a new electronic transmission plate....I had a new one put on last year, I didn't think this could be the same problem again. Well, I parked it and try to decide if this was worth getting fixed again.....I decided to try your solution....it worked😊😊😊 I took your advice and drove out on some rural roads to setting to set my driving style. I was successful, but I wasn't convinced this was real!! It felt very powerful"... I did the same thing today out on the rural roads, it felt right and didn't act up on me by over revving and making pull over"... I decided to try the freeway home....I did everything you said by shifting from 1st to 5th..Walla!! IT WORKED GREAT!! Zero to 70 mph...smooth, not a jitter....I would never try this before without having to pray I didn't have to stop and restart it!! Thanks for the video😀😀😀 Greg
fupa, you simply are the man, thank you so much. Our family have been facing some economical problems, we had our break w202 c200t car (our only car) doing nothing on a parking for 6 months, because we couldn't afford the change of the front suspension arm bushings. So I buyed the remplacement, some tools and got some other borrowed and I changed it by myself (scared as s**t because spring compressor... lol), got the thumbs up at the check (spanish ITV) and now it rides beautifully!. Thank you really much!.
This is encouraging to read although I wouldn't dare to undertake something like that myself. Heck, I don't even dare to change the spark plugs myself. I've done this numerous times with different cars. But these are simple tasks with those cars - just pull out the cable and unscrew the plugs. Just need to make sure the right cable goes to the right cylinder (had bungled this once). But the Merc's plug cables are different, coil on top and all. Plus having to dismantle the air intake hose etc. first. Yes, I will probably be able "to take off" but I'm worried about putting everything back again:-)
Works for early 722.9 transmissions as well . Thought my tranny was slipping on my 2007 cls550 . Wouldn’t pass 3k rpm and struggled to go over 65 mph . After watching the video my car is driving even better than before
Today Realised I Was Very Low On Transmission Fluid,(Leak At Elec Plug Common Fault)...Used Some Lucas Stop Slip And Leak And Topped Up To Correct Level And......Happy Days....For Now..Thanks Again For Upload.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT ALSO FIXED AN ISSUE MY FATHER WAS HAVING WITH HIS 2004 E320 FOR YEARS AND WE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT WHY IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME OR NOT SHIFT PROPERLY UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO. GOD BLESS!
Thank you so much. I have a 1997 g-class and it was sluggish and harsh when shifting. Shifts beautifully. Your instruction really saved me headache. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you yet again for this very useful tip. Mine is a W210 E200 (punitive road tax here in Malaysia once the c.c. exceeds 2,400) but the tip should work because it has a 722.6 transmission too. I haven't tried it yet but I know I can take your word for it based on the other tips I've seen here. You have given the answer to something which has been bugging me for a few months i.e. the gear change being rather hesitant and inconsistent at times. There were times in the past when it was so silky smooth. Among the cars I've driven, this one has the smoothest transmission of all. I believe I was the one who had messed up the gear change memory with my "grandfather, light-footed" driving while my wife is much more aggressive. The system must have gotten confused. I'm going to go for power - if the fuel consumption goes up too much, I'll just reset it again.
Update to the previous comment: I wrote down the procedure as shown on the video a few days ago. Yes, it works, and very well too! :-) I've set it to "Power" and the car feels significantly better with smoother and surer gear shifts. There's an unexpected result after resetting the automatic transmission: fuel consumption has actually improved! Now how could this have come about when the gear shifts come later than previously?? I went on a 400 km trip two days ago, and the route was mostly on an expressway which does help with fuel consumption. But I had also driven along suburban and city roads with the last fuel refill. One explanation: the new settings help to bring about more efficiency. Your tip here: I'd vote it as the "Best Bang for the Buck" award. And to think that such an improvement could be had by just following some simple instructions and not having to buy or pay for anything. Great stuff, dude!
Mat Cendana possibly fuel consumption is better because you get better performance for less throttle. When you wanted to accelerate before ,you had to really stomp on the gas,so it actually used a wider throttle opening to get the same performance
That actually works! Car shifts crisply and the kick down passing gear does not hesitate. But a couple of weeks in NYC traffic messes it up again. This is so easy this way it is worth doing frequently - like before a race. If you use manual shifting and turn off the ASR it is not a problem anyway. Chrysler uses the same tranny on the Hemi without all the electronic confusion and it is better that way.
Fupabox: My '99 W140 3.3 ( S320) was revving too high and then suddenly thump-shifting from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th. It is generous guys like you that make owning these great cars a viable proposition. First time didn't work because I think I did it bass-akwards and depressed gas pedal before I turned the ignition - so after a few miles I pulled over and did it again and it worked like a charm. You are my New Best Freind! Thanks so much Bud!
lol.... excellent news ... It may not always work the first time , same with resetting the oil service light . You notice a dramatic difference when it resets .
YES! My tranny doesn't punch through the floorboard and kick me in the face then throw my 24 YO daughter into the back seat between 2nd and 3rd! She drives a Toyota Avalon and doesn't think I'm a loser anymore. What is your birthday New-Bud! I'll mail you a cake!
Update: Although your method helped for a while, things quickly worsened. In my case, the transmission conductor plate had a thumbnail-size hole in the casing! This being my first Mercedes, I just kept hoping that things would get better until it went into 3rd gear limp mode, and I had no choice but to 'bring it in.' That said and repaired, I still have the car, which shifts seamlessly and is like new again!
Thanks a lot mate ,I’ve just done so Car feels amazing , I was thinking about getting the transmission checked Shifts like a dream , I’ve may been flashed few times as well 😂 Now I can focus on the air bubbles inside fuel lines Thanks again
Hey. Can I ask something? I am looking to purchased a used s500 2005. The car has no transmission fluid due to a leak. The price is reasonable. Can I get your take on it? Often I read it will be the electrical connector that is leaking. I had a C280 leak from the output shaft seal. Any tips in how I can determine if the leak is worth taking a chance on?
nice nice because i floored it and i let go before it actually kicked in now its shifting early and doesn't shift at redline like it should, is this a situation you would reset?
I've just done this on my car and it works a dream, the difference is already very noticeable, I was very worried at restart as the car juddered and shook about for a minute or two, I was worried I;d done some damage but as soon as increased the revs it stabalised and has been great since. thanks very much for the info,
hey man I have 1997 s420 and every now and then the transmission gets stuck in gear I think 2nd...I take it to my mechanic and he says he reprograms the computer and its good for a while then...would this procedure work???better then me payin him everytime
dude...thanks for the vid, very nicely done. You made it so so simple. Did this in wife's e320 1997, saved me alot of money, guys at the shop almost made me buy a new gear box...thanks bro...keep em comin
hi there i am Lubega Nagib , i own a C200 1996,i dont know the gear box version in there i have tried following your video but i still cant get it well i had an leakage down and my hydrolic was leaking and so i took it to be sealed or something,,
Hi! Thanks so much for the vid. Just got a used 1997 c200 Sport and it was sluggish and idle, did your thing and it mad it much better! The only problem is when I first start off it won't shift into second for ages. Should I reset again?
Dude you're the man, thanks for the great advice the c240 has never been smoother. Like you I like good mpg plus I think it's better to have it shift early and accelerate hard when need be.
THanks fupabox i will try this today, i have a 2002 c320 and the battery was dead for close to a week in a half, i replaced the battery yesterday and the cars in limp mode now and shifts hard in reverse and drive also the W and S doesnt work. will this work for my issue? THANKS AGAIN
Hi great info thanks. Will this work on the w202 '95 C280 series? I have changed the oil and filter. Gear changes thud a bit when cold and kick downs i have to push the peddle down hard. Also is there some type of adjuster setting on the gearbox that can help it change a little smoother. Thanks
+Gabriel Lourens This won't work on cars before 1997 The older 4 speed you have to push down hard to downshift...there is a modulator valve on the side of the transmission that you adjust... I'll put links to the procedures www.transtec.com/downloads/tech_inserts/mercedes/94654.pdf www.benzworld.org/forums/w201-190-class/1360821-diy-w201-transmission-modulator-removal-replace.html
Hello, I have a question. My car is 1998 W202 C180 automatic transmission. When I start to drive the car the first and second gears don't change quickly. I should wait long for the changing of gears. After changing the gears it gets normal. I changed the oil because of it but the problem with gears weren't solved. What problem could it be?
ok and if its the connectors and solenoid plates how can I get a fix on with the location if you dont mind me asking i really want to work on it this weekend
if you have checked the fluid level and it is good..check the electrical connector that goes into the front of the transmission (big round plug)..actually check this video out..easier to watch than for me to type it out Mercedes 722.6 Transmission Shifting Problems Part 1: Do I Really Need a Complete Rebuild?
I think it worked because it changed gear later than before reseting... How long it take that my transmission learns "my" driving style ? Because sometimes it changes gears a bit wierd.
I have 1997 E320 .when I fully accelerate the gaz the transmission will not down shift quickly .Delay for some time in same speed and same gear with high RPM. Is that rest gonna fix the problem?
Yeah it works properly. I still use the car I go to the gym which is only about a mile down the street, and grocery shopping locally around my neighborhood. It parks, reverses well. If I leave it on neutral it slowly moves if I let go of the brake. Now the car speeds up to 45mph but the rpm needle gets too close to the red mark, and I don't want to crush my trany. To be honest I really don't know about engines and trans other than changing oils and brakes. I read your conversations here and I
I had this problem today. When I start driving with D and when I stopped in red lights it didnt switch it to neutral there was alltime torque and cars started woble... And when i pushed the gas pedal to kickdown it was like 200D :D slow as hell and it was really wierd to drive. And same happens in R there is wierd powerful torque there should be a bit torque in R not powerful torque. Any help
it depends on whether you are doing a flush or just a drain and refill...the 722.6 is VERY picky when it comes to proper fluid level..too much or too little can cause major problems...you need to check that the fluid level is correct at the correct temperature with the dipstick tool...if the level is correct ,drain and measure the amount that came out.. replace the exact same amount and recheck level at operating temperature again
You are lucky it did not get you stranded yet. My 2000 E55 had a similar problem, happened at home. New Shift Module (the thing in the middle with the shifter) fixed the problem (also, shifter bushing below the floor was bad). Not difficult if you are half-way mechanically inclined... The check engine light would not come on due to this problem, btw.
Can you help me please, I have a w211 270cdi 2004, the summer when the warmer weather changing speeds normally, but when winter comes, when first starting in the morning, while cold the first few minutes of a lot of difficult changes speeds, noisy, and feel shock when shifting gears, and after a few minutes when it warms up all ok, yet still have not tried the reset that you clearly do not know whether it would help, do you have any idea what could be the problem. Thank you ...
I have done some checking and the 7g tronic in your car should have the same reset procedure as outlined in this video.. it may help smooth the shifting when cold... The transmission is designed to rev higher and not shift as early when cold ,to help speed up the fluid warming up to operating temperature...it is also necessary to put more pressure (higher revs) in order to circulate cold fluid which is thicker..this is programmed into the transmission to prevent damage...the shifts should be a bit harsher when cold ,but not extremely harsh...when cold you should always accelerate very slowly when the car is really cold in the winter time..for the first minute or 2...once it warms up a bit you can drive more agressively
hey, I did this on my 97s320, when I pressed my foot to the gas pedal I heard some sound, I think its the gear resetting? but after more than 15 seconds I still heard that sound, I just turn the key to 1st position and wait 3 minutes. I will test it out for a drive tomorrow, I just want to ask if should I do it again and wait until the sounds stop? or just drive it tomorrow? and thanks.
there should be an audible click from the button under the pedal that signals the car to downshift..there may also be a slight noise from the electronic throttle actuator...turn the key to the second position (not starting) then put the throttle pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there at least 15 seconds..turn off the key and then release the gas pedal and wait 3 minutes..then start and drive
Hi ! Am using e class avantgrade e220 cdi w211 2004 ! My problem is the gear stays stuck only to first gear !? What should i do!? Should i reset the transmission it will sort out !? Thank you !
a few things could be wrong, but essentially the computer has determined that there is a malfunction and isn't allowing the car to come out of 1st "limp home" mode.. the check engine light should be on and you will need the codes read to figure out what the problem is..there are a few minor fairly inexpensive things it could be IE. aux/back up battery, low fluid level, electrical connectors etc. It's almost impossible to know for sure...hopefully nothing major.
Hi thank you very much for your video!! Can I just ask whether the first 40 shifts need to be completed in Manual Transmission and manually changing each gear or in the auto D setting?
Oh I see thanks for the prompt response. Just a couple more Q's following that: - So I can put it in to manual transmission or D1,D2 etc.. and then shift up at 2,500 rpm. - Does it need to get used to the driving style in each gear or will the first 4 gears be enough? - And does it take into account shifting down or only up shifts?
Talveer Guram good questions...I honestly don't know the answers to those.. you can do the reset as many times as you like with no danger of harming the car, so you can test whether not using "d" would make a difference..I don't think downshifting matters, but the faster you release the gas pedal when slowing down, the more likely the car will hold the gear and not upshift when slowing down. If you release the gas pedal slowly when coming to a corner, the car will shift to a higher gear to coast..if you release the pedal quickly it will hold a lower gear and use engine braking in a corner.
hi boss,i wan ask some quetion..when i driving until hot the gear cannot change still gear 1...and then i off the engine start again will be normal..what problem of mez e200 transmission?
It's ever happened with my c240's w203 2001.the shift was stuck at 3 gear. i have to shut the engine off and start it again to back normal. the problem is, your sensor transmission is broken. check it to workshop.
Tried This Today...Vast Improvement......Still A Bit Off ..But My ML 320 Has Been Playing Up For Some Time And I Am Finding It Slightly Strange To Adjust To The Correction And Reset..Will Know For Sure Over The Coming Days And Will Make Another Comment At That Time...Thankyou For Uploading...A Very Generous Piece Of Valuable Info...Greatly Appreciated By All.
Hello, I own a 1996 E320 and the shift locks up when in Park position and will not move unless I manually turn a part outside the shift assy. Anyhere I can get help? I am in Brazil...Thank you.
+Edesio Mandelli Try Step on brake and turn steering wheel to take off any stress on lock. The light panel part connected to the shifter has a switch in it for park. That may be it too. It is a pain to change out - I did it a couple of years ago. May be cheaper to get a used good shifter box assembly from a wrecking yard, maybe Ebay.
My 722.06 trans auto of Mercedes Benz c240 2001 model year with odo 350000 km ,was got serious issue when I change trans fluid after than now there was late of shafting for 3 secound your advice due for me
check the fluid level, that is what generally causes shifting issues.. Then reset the transmission 1. turn ignition to position 2 without starting 2. press throttle pedal all the way to the floor and hold for 15-20 seconds 3. turn key off,but don't remove key 4. release throttle pedal and wait 3 minutes without turning on anything in the car or opening the door 5. start car and drive normally..the car will adapt to your driving style and throttle pressure
hi and thanks for the tutorial!! i got some questions.. first of all does it affect both comfort and sport modes? and if yes how do i programm each mode differently so i can have a mode for performance and a mode for fuel economy? and finally how often is it good for the car to reset it?
+Xenophon Papadopoulos it just rests the baseline ,,like wiping the cache on your computer..or resetting your trip computer in your car. There isn't a separate way to reset it for sport and or comfort. since the 722.6 transmission only has a winter/wet and standard mode. You could do the rest every day with no issue
***** After 2012 the A/B class have a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission: DCT-7. The same as in the more recent GLA and CLA. Would be nice to know how to reset those.
Hi. Great video. Just one question. After I finish with transmission reset and want to have good fuel economy, so I drive slowly for the first 40 shifts. After all that, will this effect on kick down power or the down shifts when I need those for fast accelerations? Thanks
Yes driving slowly for the first 40 shifts or so , will set the transmission to upshift earlier to higher gears ..No it won't have an effect on kickdowns ... I made a quick video on the 722.6 transmission ruclips.net/video/sjp-rAQUW-Y/видео.html The 722.6 is a pretty smart transmission for its time... The quicker you press on the gas ,the quicker it will downshift to accelerate...if you lift off the gas quickly, it will hold the gear it is in (as long as it is not in the top gear ).. It is fairly odd to get used to once you discover this little trick. It is hardly mentioned in owners manuals , but is referred to as "fast on..fast off" . If you press the pedal slowly in top gear to accelerate it will wait to drop a gear, if you press the same amount, but quickly..it will drop 2 gears. Experiment with it a bit and you will get the hang of it. I think it is rarely mentioned because it's a bit odd to get used to. I believe it is the cause of people saying the transmission lurches sometimes. If you test it out, let me know what you think.
I have an 02 c240 an everything works fine but i cant take the key out an it wont pass N it drives fine but cant reverse or park and the key wont come out, i know its most likely the linkage but im having a hard time locating it an fixing the problem any help would be great
Reynol Garza it sounds like the linkage bushing is toast...you can do it from under the car..look staright up under the shifter from under the car and you will see the linkage...if you would rather do it from inside, there is some extra work, but it doesn't require going under the car...watch the video in the link I will add...once the console is off (make sure ignition is turned off) remove the 4 bolts holding the shifter assembly onto the transmission tunnel, and lift it up...you will see the linkage and where it attaches to the shifter assembly, and can easily replace it from inside the car..good opportunity to clean all the years of junk from under the console ruclips.net/video/M4ps8sHYQ3A/видео.html
So I got the Ebay fan control box to see if it will get the 421 code and 72 degree full fan start to go back to normal but it did not when I put it in. New looking and shiny CA part too. So, any suggestions on where to go next? Ty as always. w202 c230 190k
William Z Just put the second Ebay module in and still no fix. Do I have to clear the code for it to work? Is one of the relays by fuses a fan relay? Is there a comfort control module for the 97 c230? Are the Royals gonna win it all? Wish I knew all! TY
William Z There is a cooling fan relay in the relay box behind the fuse panel..it is the K9 relay ..closest to the front of the car on the left side of the relay box. The relay you have swapped is the condenser fan relay, so that should be the only 2 for the fans..have you checked the coolant sensor for the fan..it is different than the sensor for the gauge and it may be sending a false signal to the computer to turn the fan on. you do have to clear the code to get it to function properly...Royals are who I bet on with a Giants fan at work, so fingers crossed :P
***** I tried to delete the 421 code but it wont die. There seems to be only one temp sensor located at the front of the motor I think I replaced it 5 years ago. I will order the 5 pin relay and see if that is it. The residual heat doesnt work either and it did before..
Hi I've just reset my w202 c180 as shown now I can't put it in gear without it stalling unless I put one foot on the brake pedal and the other on the accelerator and keep the revs up then put it in gear can you help, please. rgds Derick.
+derick slatford The only thing that could possibly be affected when doing the reset is the kickdown switch under the gad pedal is stuck ...check that it has popped back up... it is like a spring loaded push button , and may be sticky from dirt and snow and other crap over the years...round black button under the pedal sticking out of the carpet
I have a GL450 and it something's won't shift out of 1st gear, when this happens I turn it off and back on and the problem stops, I don't get a engine light of any kind, would appreciate any suggestions or advice on what it might be, thanks
hello , I have w203 and my transmission has got this problem .When I push a little hard from 3rd to 4rth it slips .it does it occasionally when the oil in the gearbox is hot . when has not reached the temperature doesn't slip. Can you help me what to do ?
Hello Guys, Maybe you guys can help i own a 95 S320 that has some issues now i tried to get the codes my self with my scanner and all i was able to to pull was 2 codes 1 having to do with a transmission overload switch and the other with the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Now here are my car symptoms... Wont Go More Than 45mph sometimes it kicks in 2nd gear from D Position wont shift up and like in limp mode do you guys think its a shot tranny or whatt??? HELP PLEASE!!!!
+fupabox Many people think its Sport for S. but its actually not, atleast on 202 models. S- Stands for Standard, and E for economy, the diffrences is that on E, it light out gears, changing it at low rpms, even on uphills
does this work on a w202 1994 C250,I know it isn't electronic transmission but do you have any advice to make better the gear change. Thanks in advance.
sorry the older 4 speed has no improvements that are this simple.. adjusting the pressure regulator/modulator on the side of the transmission www.pdf-archive.com/2015/09/09/mercedes-722-4-adjustment-guide/
not for the transmission.. but you can do an electronic throttle body reset...key on to last position before starting and leave it there for 3 minutes..turn key to off and remove the key..then start the car.. throttle will relearn within a few miles and have a smoother idle and rev a bit smoother
hey man i have a W209 2005 CLK 320 Convertible , for the first time this has happened and 3 times already this week. when im going from like 25-35 , my transmission i believe is not shifting from 2-3rd shift (not good with car talk), so itll go to like 4000RPM and ill hear a whining/whistling from the car - but then goes back to normal after turn off. no engine lights. does my model have any transmission issues you know about? and would this reset work for me?
Your car was one of the last Benzs to use the 722.6 5g transmission.. I could type out all of the possible issues , but this is easier www.mercedesmedic.com/mercedes-transmission-problems-limp-mode-no-shifting-troubleshooting-tips/
+fupabox much appreciated fupa. Also thanks for taking the time to make this video. No more shift issues believe it or not (car used to stay in 1st randomly then back to normal) now all good!
good to know it'll work on my newer Benz! thanks for sharing!! Just picked up a 99 CL500 today, will try this on that. Had an E420 Sport which was totaled, replaced with the C140
Hello, will this work on w168 (old A-class 1997-2004), they have 722.7 transmission and the only difference between them and 722.6 I think is in differential, they are front wheel drive. Thanks
After two days I see a little difference, the transmission drive and shift better. Probably the problem was caused by my father who has never before drove automatic, or computer automatic, and he still don't understand "fast on, fast off" cos it's totally the opposite to the classic manual transmission.
Thank you for another great informative video . The transmission in my 1995 SL320 works perfectly going forward while driving but doesn't want to take reverse. I can leave it in reverse and gently press the gas and the engine revs like it's in neutral and after about 20 or 30 seconds , the transmission will then begin to work in reverse. Can the issue be the conductor plate ? Also , what years of Mercedes is the transmission compatible with the 1995 SL320 ? Is the 1995 SL500 compatible and / or the 1996 , 1997 SL320 or SL500 ? Any information is greatly appreciated. Best Regards
it sounds like the transmission is locked in safe mode...check the fluid level first,and then if that is good it may need to be scanned..solenoid plates and plug connectors are both common failures,but not that hard or expensive to fix
have the car scanned , but a wheel speed sensor, shifter module, low fluid level (or high fluid level) transmission connector plug etc , can cause limp mode.. Who replaced the transmission ?
I would go back to the dealer that replaced it, there must be a warranty.. it may be a cheap fix like fluid , or an expensive one like a shifter module. Best to make them take responsibility for their work
Not sure where you are located , but here there is something called "reasonable expectation of durability" meaning that a replacement part from a dealership , should be reasonably expected to last as long as the new part warranted for.. So if the original new car warranty on the tranny was 100k miles.. the dealer replacement should last that long as well
Isn't in bad condition, yes it has quite some miles on it but why would it still in up to 45mph? Any help my peeps??? I would really appreciate it guys.
Also, once reset, if you shift tiptronically (when you want it to shift), will these be recorded a part of the first 40 shifts? Or the TCM only registers what it does itself?
excellent question.. I asked a Benz. technician today. He has no clue, nor do I unfortunately . I may be able to find out , I'll let you know if I find something
Great video - very helpful. It has made a little bit of improvement for me. I have a Mercedes SLK 230 - 1997. It was fine, then this gear slipping started to happen...initially it wouldnt go over 60mph - but the revs wanted to! Revs would be going crazy, but the next gear wouldnt get reached. After trying this, I can now go over 60mph, however...if i completely floored it before, it would drop a gear and shoot me up a few...now though, it just revs, it drops a gear and does not quite go in
Hey guys, does anyone know if the shift rod has an adjustment coming off the trans. My 1999 ml 320 has some slip in reverse unless i hold the the lever up just a bit from where it sits in the gear slot ? Thanks to all.
I was having a problem with my transmission not shifting out of first no one could figure it out but I tried the whole resetting my transmission by holding my foot on pedal an nd works thanks u are freakn awsume in my book for real thanks
No it won't..the 722.5 is a 5 speed, but not electronically/computer controlled...it's essentially just a 4 speed auto with an electrically switched 5th gear added
if it just revs high when cold but then shifts,nothing at all..it is doing what it is supposed to do to protect itself...thicker cold oil needs higher revs to keep it pressurized and flowing through the valve bodies, so it will remain in lower gears longer to keep revs high... after a minute or so as the fluid warms ,it will shift sooner at lower revs and gradually become normal... if it won't shift at all when cold and just goes to redline and stays there, then the possible problems are.. bad fluid/ low fluid, damaged valve bodies , oil contaminated transmission wire harness.. try the reset first and then check fluid level... then there is a round electrical plug that goes into the front of the transmission.. it unbolts from the front of the plug and you can see if it has fluid inside.. if it does it , then the seal is bad ..it can be replaced for around $20
Hej, I have a problem with my w203 mercedes benz c200, the problem is that my gear only stay in the first gear and don't switch to the second, would this reset help? Thank you for everything!
the computer thinks there is a serious problem with the transmission and is protecting it y putting it in "limp home" mode...it will need to be scanned by some one with a Mercedes specific scan tool..the reset will not help in this instance
I don't have a spesific problem with shifting gears but it uses alot of gas, I live in Norway and we have the most expensive gas prices in the world!! So my question is: Does this work on a ML 320 2000 automatic? I guess it haven't been done yet so it can't hurt to try right? Peace ✌️
Hi there, i buy it mercedes C class 2005 Morning when engine is cold, when i start to drive i feel transmision is little strange (rough) the on shifting first kilometer. After 1 kilometer transmision is more gently. It is normal that for mercedes ? Any info please. Regards.
I wanted to thank you for your video and saving me $1000.00...my ML 320 was doing the "crazy" Erving and not knowing gear it was end! I would pull over...turn it off and restart it and it was fine!! This weekend, that trick stopped working....I stopped at a international garage and was told I needed a new electronic transmission plate....I had a new one put on last year, I didn't think this could be the same problem again. Well, I parked it and try to decide if this was worth getting fixed again.....I decided to try your solution....it worked😊😊😊 I took your advice and drove out on some rural roads to setting to set my driving style. I was successful, but I wasn't convinced this was real!! It felt very powerful"... I did the same thing today out on the rural roads, it felt right and didn't act up on me by over revving and making pull over"... I decided to try the freeway home....I did everything you said by shifting from 1st to 5th..Walla!! IT WORKED GREAT!! Zero to 70 mph...smooth, not a jitter....I would never try this before without having to pray I didn't have to stop and restart it!!
Thanks for the video😀😀😀
Greg
excellent... glad it helped you out.. :)
fupa, you simply are the man, thank you so much. Our family have been facing some economical problems, we had our break w202 c200t car (our only car) doing nothing on a parking for 6 months, because we couldn't afford the change of the front suspension arm bushings. So I buyed the remplacement, some tools and got some other borrowed and I changed it by myself (scared as s**t because spring compressor... lol), got the thumbs up at the check (spanish ITV) and now it rides beautifully!. Thank you really much!.
excellent..glad you got it all fixed..I bet you never want to see the bicycle again :)
This is encouraging to read although I wouldn't dare to undertake something like that myself. Heck, I don't even dare to change the spark plugs myself. I've done this numerous times with different cars. But these are simple tasks with those cars - just pull out the cable and unscrew the plugs. Just need to make sure the right cable goes to the right cylinder (had bungled this once). But the Merc's plug cables are different, coil on top and all. Plus having to dismantle the air intake hose etc. first. Yes, I will probably be able "to take off" but I'm worried about putting everything back again:-)
Works for early 722.9 transmissions as well . Thought my tranny was slipping on my 2007 cls550 . Wouldn’t pass 3k rpm and struggled to go over 65 mph . After watching the video my car is driving even better than before
good to know that it works on the newer trans as well . thanks
Today Realised I Was Very Low On Transmission Fluid,(Leak At Elec Plug Common Fault)...Used Some Lucas Stop Slip And Leak And Topped Up To Correct Level And......Happy Days....For Now..Thanks Again For Upload.
alan anderson does it still run after running the Lucy’s?
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT ALSO FIXED AN ISSUE MY FATHER WAS HAVING WITH HIS 2004 E320 FOR YEARS AND WE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT WHY IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME OR NOT SHIFT PROPERLY UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO. GOD BLESS!
+Zac Gorbani very welcome..glad it helped you
Thank you so much. I have a 1997 g-class and it was sluggish and harsh when shifting. Shifts beautifully. Your instruction really saved me headache. Thank you!!!!!!
excellent..glad it helped

Thank you yet again for this very useful tip. Mine is a W210 E200 (punitive road tax here in Malaysia once the c.c. exceeds 2,400) but the tip should work because it has a 722.6 transmission too. I haven't tried it yet but I know I can take your word for it based on the other tips I've seen here.
You have given the answer to something which has been bugging me for a few months i.e. the gear change being rather hesitant and inconsistent at times. There were times in the past when it was so silky smooth. Among the cars I've driven, this one has the smoothest transmission of all. I believe I was the one who had messed up the gear change memory with my "grandfather, light-footed" driving while my wife is much more aggressive. The system must have gotten confused. I'm going to go for power - if the fuel consumption goes up too much, I'll just reset it again.
Update to the previous comment: I wrote down the procedure as shown on the video a few days ago. Yes, it works, and very well too! :-) I've set it to "Power" and the car feels significantly better with smoother and surer gear shifts.
There's an unexpected result after resetting the automatic transmission: fuel consumption has actually improved! Now how could this have come about when the gear shifts come later than previously?? I went on a 400 km trip two days ago, and the route was mostly on an expressway which does help with fuel consumption. But I had also driven along suburban and city roads with the last fuel refill. One explanation: the new settings help to bring about more efficiency.
Your tip here: I'd vote it as the "Best Bang for the Buck" award. And to think that such an improvement could be had by just following some simple instructions and not having to buy or pay for anything. Great stuff, dude!
Mat Cendana
possibly fuel consumption is better because you get better performance for less throttle. When you wanted to accelerate before ,you had to really stomp on the gas,so it actually used a wider throttle opening to get the same performance
That actually works! Car shifts crisply and the kick down passing gear does not hesitate. But a couple of weeks in NYC traffic messes it up again. This is so easy this way it is worth doing frequently - like before a race. If you use manual shifting and turn off the ASR it is not a problem anyway. Chrysler uses the same tranny on the Hemi without all the electronic confusion and it is better that way.
Fupabox: My '99 W140 3.3 ( S320) was revving too high and then suddenly thump-shifting from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th.
It is generous guys like you that make owning these great cars a viable proposition. First time didn't work because I think I did it bass-akwards and depressed gas pedal before I turned the ignition - so after a few miles I pulled over and did it again and it worked like a charm.
You are my New Best Freind!
Thanks so much Bud!
lol.... excellent news ... It may not always work the first time , same with resetting the oil service light . You notice a dramatic difference when it resets .
YES! My tranny doesn't punch through the floorboard and kick me in the face then throw my 24 YO daughter into the back seat between 2nd and 3rd! She drives a Toyota Avalon and doesn't think I'm a loser anymore. What is your birthday New-Bud! I'll mail you a cake!
Update: Although your method helped for a while, things quickly worsened. In my case, the transmission conductor plate had a thumbnail-size hole in the casing! This being my first Mercedes, I just kept hoping that things would get better until it went into 3rd gear limp mode, and I had no choice but to 'bring it in.' That said and repaired, I still have the car, which shifts seamlessly and is like new again!
Thanks a lot mate ,I’ve just done so
Car feels amazing , I was thinking about getting the transmission checked
Shifts like a dream , I’ve may been flashed few times as well 😂
Now I can focus on the air bubbles inside fuel lines
Thanks again
Hey. Can I ask something? I am looking to purchased a used s500 2005. The car has no transmission fluid due to a leak. The price is reasonable. Can I get your take on it? Often I read it will be the electrical connector that is leaking. I had a C280 leak from the output shaft seal. Any tips in how I can determine if the leak is worth taking a chance on?
Can you help me on how to reset the brake pad tear wear indicator light.I did replace the front brake pads on my 2010 GLK MB.
nice nice because i floored it and i let go before it actually kicked in now its shifting early and doesn't shift at redline like it should, is this a situation you would reset?
I've just done this on my car and it works a dream, the difference is already very noticeable, I was very worried at restart as the car juddered and shook about for a minute or two, I was worried I;d done some damage but as soon as increased the revs it stabalised and has been great since. thanks very much for the info,
hey man I have 1997 s420 and every now and then the transmission gets stuck in gear I think 2nd...I take it to my mechanic and he says he reprograms the computer and its good for a while then...would this procedure work???better then me payin him everytime
I hsve cklsse w202 2000jear 250 t. Disel its a same like dis older?
What you think is this working in C36 AMG transmission, it has same transmission (722,6) but made for C36 AMG, and its 4 gears not 5
dude...thanks for the vid, very nicely done. You made it so so simple. Did this in wife's e320 1997, saved me alot of money, guys at the shop almost made me buy a new gear box...thanks bro...keep em comin
hi there i am Lubega Nagib , i own a C200 1996,i dont know the gear box version in there i have tried following your video but i still cant get it well i had an leakage down and my hydrolic was leaking and so i took it to be sealed or something,,
any idea how to make a little a bit more hp or torque ? thnx for the vid
Thinking about buying a 95 c220 but was told transmission needs to be reset. Do u think this will work?
no... the electronic transmission (the one that is re-settable ) wasn't in production until late 1996
Hi! Thanks so much for the vid. Just got a used 1997 c200 Sport and it was sluggish and idle, did your thing and it mad it much better! The only problem is when I first start off it won't shift into second for ages. Should I reset again?
Dude you're the man, thanks for the great advice the c240 has never been smoother. Like you I like good mpg plus I think it's better to have it shift early and accelerate hard when need be.
THanks fupabox i will try this today, i have a 2002 c320 and the battery was dead for close to a week in a half, i replaced the battery yesterday and the cars in limp mode now and shifts hard in reverse and drive also the W and S doesnt work. will this work for my issue? THANKS AGAIN
Does thos work on Grand Cherokee 2.7 crd 2003 model which it has mercedes transmission??
I’m pretty sure it does
Hi...I have a 1998 ML320...will this work on my truck to reset the a new electric plate?? Thanks
yes
do we have to press gas pedal? i dont know what troddle is
Hello will this same method work for 2007 C230.
Hi great info thanks. Will this work on the w202 '95 C280 series? I have changed the oil and filter. Gear changes thud a bit when cold and kick downs i have to push the peddle down hard. Also is there some type of adjuster setting on the gearbox that can help it change a little smoother. Thanks
+Gabriel Lourens This won't work on cars before 1997 The older 4 speed you have to push down hard to downshift...there is a modulator valve on the side of the transmission that you adjust... I'll put links to the procedures

Hello, I have a question. My car is 1998 W202 C180 automatic transmission. When I start to drive the car the first and second gears don't change quickly. I should wait long for the changing of gears. After changing the gears it gets normal. I changed the oil because of it but the problem with gears weren't solved. What problem could it be?
ok and if its the connectors and solenoid plates how can I get a fix on with the location if you dont mind me asking i really want to work on it this weekend
if you have checked the fluid level and it is good..check the electrical connector that goes into the front of the transmission (big round plug)..actually check this video out..easier to watch than for me to type it out Mercedes 722.6 Transmission Shifting Problems Part 1: Do I Really Need a Complete Rebuild?
I said these are guys are really knowledgeable! Got any pointers??? I would really appreciate it.
I think it worked because it changed gear later than before reseting... How long it take that my transmission learns "my" driving style ? Because sometimes it changes gears a bit wierd.
so what circumstances would you need for resetting the ecu?
I have 1997 E320 .when I fully accelerate the gaz the transmission will not down shift quickly .Delay for some time in same speed and same gear with high RPM. Is that rest gonna fix the problem?
yes it should
Yeah it works properly. I still use the car I go to the gym which is only about a mile down the street, and grocery shopping locally around my neighborhood. It parks, reverses well. If I leave it on neutral it slowly moves if I let go of the brake. Now the car speeds up to 45mph but the rpm needle gets too close to the red mark, and I don't want to crush my trany. To be honest I really don't know about engines and trans other than changing oils and brakes. I read your conversations here and I
Do you know how much will they charge me? And in order to get to that dealer I have I go through the highway, and the car runs max on 45mph,
I had this problem today.
When I start driving with D and when I stopped in red lights it didnt switch it to neutral there was alltime torque and cars started woble... And when i pushed the gas pedal to kickdown it was like 200D :D slow as hell and it was really wierd to drive. And same happens in R there is wierd powerful torque there should be a bit torque in R not powerful torque. Any help
Anyway I can do this on my s550 2013; is it the same concept!! Thanx in advance
Hi am using a 208 CLK 320 its fitted with a 722.6 transmission will I be able to apply this method on my car? Thanks in advance.
yes it should work on any 722.6 transmission
hey i was told to only put 4 quarts of transmission oil is that right? beacuse one of my friends is saying 6 which i dont think so
it depends on whether you are doing a flush or just a drain and refill...the 722.6 is VERY picky when it comes to proper fluid level..too much or too little can cause major problems...you need to check that the fluid level is correct at the correct temperature with the dipstick tool...if the level is correct ,drain and measure the amount that came out.. replace the exact same amount and recheck level at operating temperature again
I have w210 E200 it shifts good put I have a problem when Am starting to slow down the I can feel the gears backing with strong hit please help
I HAVE A 1995 S420 ,transmission 72236. how to rest that?
thanks for the video
Thank you very much for creating this video! Has helped make shifts smoother! Cars a '97 C250 Turbo Diesel
You are lucky it did not get you stranded yet. My 2000 E55 had a similar problem, happened at home. New Shift Module (the thing in the middle with the shifter) fixed the problem (also, shifter bushing below the floor was bad). Not difficult if you are half-way mechanically inclined... The check engine light would not come on due to this problem, btw.
Can you help me please, I have a w211 270cdi 2004, the summer when the warmer weather changing speeds normally, but when winter comes, when first starting in the morning, while cold the first few minutes of a lot of difficult changes speeds, noisy, and feel shock when shifting gears, and after a few minutes when it warms up all ok, yet still have not tried the reset that you clearly do not know whether it would help, do you have any idea what could be the problem. Thank you ...
I have done some checking and the 7g tronic in your car should have the same reset procedure as outlined in this video.. it may help smooth the shifting when cold... The transmission is designed to rev higher and not shift as early when cold ,to help speed up the fluid warming up to operating temperature...it is also necessary to put more pressure (higher revs) in order to circulate cold fluid which is thicker..this is programmed into the transmission to prevent damage...the shifts should be a bit harsher when cold ,but not extremely harsh...when cold you should always accelerate very slowly when the car is really cold in the winter time..for the first minute or 2...once it warms up a bit you can drive more agressively
hey, I did this on my 97s320, when I pressed my foot to the gas pedal I heard some sound, I think its the gear resetting? but after more than 15 seconds I still heard that sound, I just turn the key to 1st position and wait 3 minutes. I will test it out for a drive tomorrow, I just want to ask if should I do it again and wait until the sounds stop? or just drive it tomorrow? and thanks.
there should be an audible click from the button under the pedal that signals the car to downshift..there may also be a slight noise from the electronic throttle actuator...turn the key to the second position (not starting) then put the throttle pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there at least 15 seconds..turn off the key and then release the gas pedal and wait 3 minutes..then start and drive
Hi ! Am using e class avantgrade e220 cdi w211 2004 ! My problem is the gear stays stuck only to first gear !? What should i do!? Should i reset the transmission it will sort out !? Thank you !
a few things could be wrong, but essentially the computer has determined that there is a malfunction and isn't allowing the car to come out of 1st "limp home" mode.. the check engine light should be on and you will need the codes read to figure out what the problem is..there are a few minor fairly inexpensive things it could be IE. aux/back up battery, low fluid level, electrical connectors etc.
It's almost impossible to know for sure...hopefully nothing major.
reset is not working with disconnecting battery do u think carsoft reset will fix my problem? thanks fupabox
I can't say for sure..but it is worth a try
Hi thank you very much for your video!! Can I just ask whether the first 40 shifts need to be completed in Manual Transmission and manually changing each gear or in the auto D setting?
no.. they can be in any gear... 40 is also just a benchmark number to ensure you driving style is more or less saved
Oh I see thanks for the prompt response. Just a couple more Q's following that:
- So I can put it in to manual transmission or D1,D2 etc.. and then shift up at 2,500 rpm.
- Does it need to get used to the driving style in each gear or will the first 4 gears be enough?
- And does it take into account shifting down or only up shifts?
Talveer Guram good questions...I honestly don't know the answers to those.. you can do the reset as many times as you like with no danger of harming the car, so you can test whether not using "d" would make a difference..I don't think downshifting matters, but the faster you release the gas pedal when slowing down, the more likely the car will hold the gear and not upshift when slowing down. If you release the gas pedal slowly when coming to a corner, the car will shift to a higher gear to coast..if you release the pedal quickly it will hold a lower gear and use engine braking in a corner.
so what actually does it change? i'm wondering if i should do that to my c43 amg
Hi what does the s/w switch means beside the shift
hi boss,i wan ask some quetion..when i driving until hot the gear cannot change still gear 1...and then i off the engine start again will be normal..what problem of mez e200 transmission?
what year is your car
2006-2007
LIM TZE LIANG
I've never worked on that model, I'll see if I can find some info for you
ok thanks you
It's ever happened with my c240's w203 2001.the shift was stuck at 3 gear. i have to shut the engine off and start it again to back normal. the problem is, your sensor transmission is broken. check it to workshop.
Tried This Today...Vast Improvement......Still A Bit Off ..But My ML 320 Has Been Playing Up For Some Time And I Am Finding It Slightly Strange To Adjust To The Correction And Reset..Will Know For Sure Over The Coming Days And Will Make Another Comment At That Time...Thankyou For Uploading...A Very Generous Piece Of Valuable Info...Greatly Appreciated By All.
Hello, I own a 1996 E320 and the shift locks up when in Park position and will not move unless I manually turn a part outside the shift assy.
Anyhere I can get help? I am in Brazil...Thank you.
+Edesio Mandelli Try Step on brake and turn steering wheel to take off any stress on lock. The light panel part connected to the shifter has a switch in it for park. That may be it too. It is a pain to change out - I did it a couple of years ago. May be cheaper to get a used good shifter box assembly from a wrecking yard, maybe Ebay.
My 722.06 trans auto of Mercedes Benz c240 2001 model year with odo 350000 km ,was got serious issue when I change trans fluid after than now there was late of shafting for 3 secound your advice due for me
check the fluid level, that is what generally causes shifting issues.. Then reset the transmission
1. turn ignition to position 2 without starting
2. press throttle pedal all the way to the floor and hold for 15-20 seconds
3. turn key off,but don't remove key
4. release throttle pedal and wait 3 minutes without turning on anything in the car or opening the door
5. start car and drive normally..the car will adapt to your driving style and throttle pressure
hi and thanks for the tutorial!!
i got some questions..
first of all does it affect both comfort and sport modes? and if yes how do i programm each mode differently so i can have a mode for performance and a mode for fuel economy?
and finally how often is it good for the car to reset it?
+Xenophon Papadopoulos it just rests the baseline ,,like wiping the cache on your computer..or resetting your trip computer in your car. There isn't a separate way to reset it for sport and or comfort. since the 722.6 transmission only has a winter/wet and standard mode. You could do the rest every day with no issue
Thank you for this video in 2024 after doing this for my 1999 W140 S320.
ssangyong rexton has the same gearbox (transmission)... any ideas if this will work on that car also?
+Steve Bramblet not sure... it can't hurt anything, so give it a try
Will this work with B class? I feel little jerk between 1st and 2nd gear so maybe it can help, or it is another thing I need to do and check. Thanks
it won't work..b class has a totally different transmission.. it's a cvt
***** After 2012 the A/B class have a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission: DCT-7. The same as in the more recent GLA and CLA. Would be nice to know how to reset those.
Victor Van really... damn I test drove a 2010 a few months ago for a guy , and just assumed they all still had the cvt....appreciate the info
Hi. Great video.
Just one question.
After I finish with transmission reset and want to have good fuel economy, so I drive slowly for the first 40 shifts.
After all that, will this effect on kick down power or the down shifts when I need those for fast accelerations?
Thanks
Yes driving slowly for the first 40 shifts or so , will set the transmission to upshift earlier to higher gears ..No it won't have an effect on kickdowns ... I made a quick video on the 722.6 transmission ruclips.net/video/sjp-rAQUW-Y/видео.html
The 722.6 is a pretty smart transmission for its time... The quicker you press on the gas ,the quicker it will downshift to accelerate...if you lift off the gas quickly, it will hold the gear it is in (as long as it is not in the top gear ).. It is fairly odd to get used to once you discover this little trick. It is hardly mentioned in owners manuals , but is referred to as "fast on..fast off" . If you press the pedal slowly in top gear to accelerate it will wait to drop a gear, if you press the same amount, but quickly..it will drop 2 gears. Experiment with it a bit and you will get the hang of it. I think it is rarely mentioned because it's a bit odd to get used to. I believe it is the cause of people saying the transmission lurches sometimes. If you test it out, let me know what you think.
I have an 02 c240 an everything works fine but i cant take the key out an it wont pass N it drives fine but cant reverse or park and the key wont come out, i know its most likely the linkage but im having a hard time locating it an fixing the problem any help would be great
Reynol Garza it sounds like the linkage bushing is toast...you can do it from under the car..look staright up under the shifter from under the car and you will see the linkage...if you would rather do it from inside, there is some extra work, but it doesn't require going under the car...watch the video in the link I will add...once the console is off (make sure ignition is turned off) remove the 4 bolts holding the shifter assembly onto the transmission tunnel, and lift it up...you will see the linkage and where it attaches to the shifter assembly, and can easily replace it from inside the car..good opportunity to clean all the years of junk from under the console ruclips.net/video/M4ps8sHYQ3A/видео.html

So I got the Ebay fan control box to see if it will get the 421 code and 72 degree full fan start to go back to normal but it did not when I put it in. New looking and shiny CA part too. So, any suggestions on where to go next? Ty as always. w202 c230 190k
I've gone through all my files and manuals..can't find anything...wish I had a better answer
***** Thanks. I'm gonna return this one and try another one....dont know how to test it other than put it in.
William Z Just put the second Ebay module in and still no fix. Do I have to clear the code for it to work? Is one of the relays by fuses a fan relay? Is there a comfort control module for the 97 c230? Are the Royals gonna win it all? Wish I knew all! TY
William Z There is a cooling fan relay in the relay box behind the fuse panel..it is the K9 relay ..closest to the front of the car on the left side of the relay box. The relay you have swapped is the condenser fan relay, so that should be the only 2 for the fans..have you checked the coolant sensor for the fan..it is different than the sensor for the gauge and it may be sending a false signal to the computer to turn the fan on. you do have to clear the code to get it to function properly...Royals are who I bet on with a Giants fan at work, so fingers crossed :P
***** I tried to delete the 421 code but it wont die. There seems to be only one temp sensor located at the front of the motor I think I replaced it 5 years ago. I will order the 5 pin relay and see if that is it. The residual heat doesnt work either and it did before..
Hi I've just reset my w202 c180 as shown now I can't put it in gear without it stalling unless I put one foot on the brake pedal and the other on the accelerator and keep the revs up then put it in gear can you help, please.
rgds Derick.
+derick slatford The only thing that could possibly be affected when doing the reset is the kickdown switch under the gad pedal is stuck ...check that it has popped back up... it is like a spring loaded push button , and may be sticky from dirt and snow and other crap over the years...round black button under the pedal sticking out of the carpet
I have a GL450 and it something's won't shift out of 1st gear, when this happens I turn it off and back on and the problem stops, I don't get a engine light of any kind, would appreciate any suggestions or advice on what it might be, thanks
The most common reason for transmission failures on your GL is a transmission valve body needing replacement
fupabox awesome thanks for the advice and keep those vids coming they are very helpful!👍
can I do the same thing in my facelift version it was built after year 2000 am asking this because ., you have a normal key i have an electronic key
Yes
hello , I have w203 and my transmission has got this problem .When I push a little hard from 3rd to 4rth it slips .it does it occasionally when the oil in the gearbox is hot . when has not reached the temperature doesn't slip. Can you help me what to do ?
+rezi mezini The first thing is to check the fluid level in the transmission, and also if it hasn't been replaced..change the fluid and filter
Hello Guys,
Maybe you guys can help i own a 95 S320 that has some issues now i tried to get the codes my self with my scanner and all i was able to to pull was 2 codes 1 having to do with a transmission overload switch and the other with the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Now here are my car symptoms... Wont Go More Than 45mph sometimes it kicks in 2nd gear from D Position wont shift up and like in limp mode do you guys think its a shot tranny or whatt??? HELP PLEASE!!!!
on my mercedes c200 96. i got a S and E option on my gearbox. what does this do? what should i have it on?
+Ostepopp Sport - Economy For normal driving leave it on the E
+fupabox Many people think its Sport for S. but its actually not, atleast on 202 models. S- Stands for Standard, and E for economy, the diffrences is that on E, it light out gears, changing it at low rpms, even on uphills
does this work on a w202 1994 C250,I know it isn't electronic transmission but do you have any advice to make better the gear change. Thanks in advance.
sorry the older 4 speed has no improvements that are this simple.. adjusting the pressure regulator/modulator on the side of the transmission www.pdf-archive.com/2015/09/09/mercedes-722-4-adjustment-guide/
Yo fupa anything work like this for a 96 c220? Thanks 🙏
not for the transmission.. but you can do an electronic throttle body reset...key on to last position before starting and leave it there for 3 minutes..turn key to off and remove the key..then start the car.. throttle will relearn within a few miles and have a smoother idle and rev a bit smoother
fupabox ok thanks will do!
fupabox I don't have to do anything like step on the gas for 15 sec? And doesn't matter if radio and climate control are on while I do this?
nanaimoclipper nope... throttle body is as simple as it sounds
fupabox ok thanks simple . And I notice a difference now . Thanks 🍻
hey man i have a W209 2005 CLK 320 Convertible , for the first time this has happened and 3 times already this week.
when im going from like 25-35 , my transmission i believe is not shifting from 2-3rd shift (not good with car talk), so itll go to like 4000RPM and ill hear a whining/whistling from the car - but then goes back to normal after turn off. no engine lights.
does my model have any transmission issues you know about? and would this reset work for me?
Your car was one of the last Benzs to use the 722.6 5g transmission.. I could type out all of the possible issues , but this is easier www.mercedesmedic.com/mercedes-transmission-problems-limp-mode-no-shifting-troubleshooting-tips/
+fupabox much appreciated fupa. Also thanks for taking the time to make this video. No more shift issues believe it or not (car used to stay in 1st randomly then back to normal) now all good!
:)
good to know it'll work on my newer Benz! thanks for sharing!! Just picked up a 99 CL500 today, will try this on that. Had an E420 Sport which was totaled, replaced with the C140
HI, will this work on the 2007 Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes OM642 CRD and 722.6 transmission?
yes it should
I take it this will not work on the 722.4 (4GTronic 1996)?
Hello, will this work on w168 (old A-class 1997-2004), they have 722.7 transmission and the only difference between them and 722.6 I think is in differential, they are front wheel drive.
Thanks
I think it will... can't hurt to try
After two days I see a little difference, the transmission drive and shift better. Probably the problem was caused by my father who has never before drove automatic, or computer automatic, and he still don't understand "fast on, fast off" cos it's totally the opposite to the classic manual transmission.
Thank you for another great informative video .
The transmission in my 1995 SL320 works perfectly going forward while driving but doesn't want to take reverse. I can leave it in reverse and gently press the gas and the engine revs like it's in neutral and after about 20 or 30 seconds , the transmission will then begin to work in reverse.
Can the issue be the conductor plate ?
Also , what years of Mercedes is the transmission compatible with the 1995 SL320 ? Is the 1995 SL500 compatible and / or the 1996 , 1997 SL320 or SL500 ?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Best

Level of transmission fluid is posiblle low, check it out
hi,
thanks for the valuable info. just quick question...:) will this method work on the 98 s500? thanks
Fahd Naoui yes
Nice. Thanks
Wow worked like a charm in my 01 w210 e320. Thanks!! Shifts like butter
Hello i got a R129 sl500 1996 with electronic 5speed does it work? Mutch love from Sweden 🤟
Yes it does ....Hello Sweden :)
@@fupabox superb 😍 great videos!
please tell me what to do to fix it no longer I lit srs
hey my 98 mercedes C280 it will go on drive but will stay on 1s Gear help please?
it sounds like the transmission is locked in safe mode...check the fluid level first,and then if that is good it may need to be scanned..solenoid plates and plug connectors are both common failures,but not that hard or expensive to fix
Hey I have a 2006 clk 500 it won't go more than 30miles per hr stays stuck in gr any advice? I changed my transmission on car a month ago
have the car scanned , but a wheel speed sensor, shifter module, low fluid level (or high fluid level) transmission connector plug etc , can cause limp mode.. Who replaced the transmission ?
fupabox the dealership where I bought the car in February... The transmission was replaced a month ago.. And now it's fing up now
I would go back to the dealer that replaced it, there must be a warranty.. it may be a cheap fix like fluid , or an expensive one like a shifter module. Best to make them take responsibility for their work
fupabox alright thanks I also called for the lemon law to see if they can help me out because the manager is Litterly hiding from me
Not sure where you are located , but here there is something called "reasonable expectation of durability" meaning that a replacement part from a dealership , should be reasonably expected to last as long as the new part warranted for.. So if the original new car warranty on the tranny was 100k miles.. the dealer replacement should last that long as well
Isn't in bad condition, yes it has quite some miles on it but why would it still in up to 45mph? Any help my peeps??? I would really appreciate it guys.
Also, once reset, if you shift tiptronically (when you want it to shift), will these be recorded a part of the first 40 shifts? Or the TCM only registers what it does itself?
excellent question.. I asked a Benz. technician today. He has no clue, nor do I unfortunately . I may be able to find out , I'll let you know if I find something

Great video - very helpful. It has made a little bit of improvement for me.
I have a Mercedes SLK 230 - 1997. It was fine, then this gear slipping started to happen...initially it wouldnt go over 60mph - but the revs wanted to! Revs would be going crazy, but the next gear wouldnt get reached.
After trying this, I can now go over 60mph, however...if i completely floored it before, it would drop a gear and shoot me up a few...now though, it just revs, it drops a gear and does not quite go in
Hey guys, does anyone know if the shift rod has an adjustment coming off the trans. My 1999 ml 320 has some slip in reverse unless i hold the the lever up just a bit from where it sits in the gear slot ? Thanks to all.
yes it can be adjusted .. post #2 and 4

I was having a problem with my transmission not shifting out of first no one could figure it out but I tried the whole resetting my transmission by holding my foot on pedal an nd works thanks u are freakn awsume in my book for real thanks
It's almost like magic sometimes.. :)
True that u were a great help saved me a pretty penny and right at Christmas time ur in ny top five fav people right now
burton wales LOL... Merry Christmas :)
Back at u santa
What the hell?
Will this work on a 1991,190e 2.3litr????
Is it necessary to make my shift points afterwards or can I just drive it essentially?
You can just drive normally
Do you think this would work with my 722.5 trany?
No it won't..the 722.5 is a 5 speed, but not electronically/computer controlled...it's essentially just a 4 speed auto with an electrically switched 5th gear added
In winter , if temperature down to around f 15.. the transmission won't shift.. what is the problem ?
if it just revs high when cold but then shifts,nothing at all..it is doing what it is supposed to do to protect itself...thicker cold oil needs higher revs to keep it pressurized and flowing through the valve bodies, so it will remain in lower gears longer to keep revs high... after a minute or so as the fluid warms ,it will shift sooner at lower revs and gradually become normal... if it won't shift at all when cold and just goes to redline and stays there, then the possible problems are.. bad fluid/ low fluid, damaged valve bodies , oil contaminated transmission wire harness.. try the reset first and then check fluid level... then there is a round electrical plug that goes into the front of the transmission.. it unbolts from the front of the plug and you can see if it has fluid inside.. if it does it , then the seal is bad ..it can be replaced for around $20
***** Thanks for the info...
would this work on a 2000 e280 Mercedes benz
Raajiv Kayos yes
Hej, I have a problem with my w203 mercedes benz c200, the problem is that my gear only stay in the first gear and don't switch to the second, would this reset help?
Thank you for everything!
the computer thinks there is a serious problem with the transmission and is protecting it y putting it in "limp home" mode...it will need to be scanned by some one with a Mercedes specific scan tool..the reset will not help in this instance
I don't have a spesific problem with shifting gears but it uses alot of gas, I live in Norway and we have the most expensive gas prices in the world!!
So my question is: Does this work on a ML 320 2000 automatic? I guess it haven't been done yet so it can't hurt to try right? Peace ✌️
W163
yes it should work
Hi there, i buy it mercedes C class 2005
Morning when engine is cold, when i start to drive i feel transmision is little strange (rough) the on shifting first kilometer. After 1 kilometer transmision is more gently.
It is normal that for mercedes ? Any info please. Regards.
+★ Sυηαу İвяαiм ™ completely normal...the transmission upshifts a bit later when cold to warm up the transmission more quickly
+fupabox Thanks for info my friend, i try to work engine 3 min before start driving shifting was the same. Today i will try with 5 min.
its only 5 dollar per gallon in the us? Here in norway its 10dollar per gallon :(
execusme, Replace Engine Control Module/Unit on 1996 Mercedes C180 ?
