Hello Everyone

Well I had been enjoying my car for a minute .I went out yesterday and replaced the trans connector bushing.Due to a bad leak.After completing job and adding fluid.Car clunks hard into gear and fails to shift in either mode...Check engine light on.Do I need to Unhook battery and reconnect to re program?Open to advise,and thanks in advance...

 

did you add fluid and check with a dipstick (Mercedes special tool)?

 

No,But I did replace amount lost during replacement of connector O-rings

 

then you forgot about all the fluid that has been lost over time, you need a dipstick and more fluid, I can help you with both if you cant find locally

 

Whatever you do, don't !! I repeat "do not" drive that car low on transmission fluid you will burn the transmission up!!

 

just removed trans connector, fluid pouring out.Going to drain and change filter and gasket.How much fluid should I use to refill after servicing?

 

Just wanted you to have two people tell you the same thing. Do not drive till you get the right amount of trans fluid back in it. Rob (Needswings) also had great advice. Your transmission doesn't have a dipstick. You can purchase one at a local Mercedes dealer or from Rob@Needswings.com. Also talk a look at the "how to" articles under the technical section of the forum.

 

I have one as of now.Thanks,anyway. Still would like some type ideal of how much will be needed.Got it....

 

Actually what have would of been even better was a simple answer.Per-say 4qts 5qts.

 

We do not know how much you lost.
Using the dip stick this post shows how high the oil level should be up the dip stick when it has bottomed out in the pan. CLICK
Use the correct oil, not just any transmission oil.

 

I feel I have plugged the connector incorrectly.But seems there only one way it will go in..Still going hard into gear and not changing.

When you reattached the connector did it go on smoothly or did ya haveta "coax" it on?
If the latter you may have done damage to the internal connector.

Been there.

 

Sad to say ,but experience is the best teacher!

 

Wow I'm beleiving that's what happened.From looking inside it I can see a open slot as if a prong is missing.How do I fix this?

 

true,I must agree

 

Not sure what you mean by a prong is missing.

 

Seems to be one missing.Can see opening like prong was there

 

From the outside of the connector or are you looking inside the trans?
