I don't know what you paid but FYI the transmission electrical connector is a $15.00 part and it takes less than 30 minutes to R & R. This is what he replaced . . .

Here's a link to explain more transmission repair issues including replacement of the conductor plate (not connector plate)

The P0715 code does indicate a faulty speed sensor in the transmission conductor plate. First however, these transmissions are very sensitive to having the correct fluid level. I suspect your continuing issues could simply be due to improper fluid level. Take it back to your guy have him make SURE the fluid level is correct. If it is at the correct level and if you continue to have issues, then you should check again for trouble codes and if you get the P0715 code proceed to get the conductor plate replaced.

Here is a good place to buy the parts . . . NOTE: Use only genuine Mercedes brand parts . . . no aftermarket junk . . .

Good evening Red Dog,
It is September 6, 2015 and this is an up-date on the problem I had with my 04 N/A coupe. I had the connector replaced at a trusted shop. I did order and received the Conductor Plate (the Whole Kit) that you suggested. I have it in hand BUT, the car is now running FINE, after a couple of hiccups. We are going to wait and see. If it starts to act up I will take it in and get the plate changed out. The last couple of outings the car ran great. Aprox 200 miles. Time will tell. Thanks again for your help,
Bill T.
