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 . . .

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 . . .
