Ditto on the Bosch v Johnson
This doesnt sound normal - check your tranny fluid, but I'd do a fluid transfusion + filter.
Use a 3ft piece of curtain wire to meaure fluid level - target = 50mm at 80degC tranny fluid temp.
Transfusion - You gotta get under the car (tranny) to get to the tranny sump+filter. There's a good drain procedure somewhere (eother here or over at benzworld/R170) where you simply drain the fluid via your front cooler hoses rather than the sump plug/s.
Takes <2hrs $100 for MB fluid though and $20 for gasket/filter kit.
If not done already
and only do it once - replace ye olde electrical connector and/or o-rings - $10 for the connector plug.
