Posting the year & model in question really helps!


The auto trans governor on MB transmissions allows changes in opposing hydraulic pressures to make sure that the trans isn't OVERLOADED with torque from the engine. There is working pressure, modulator pressure, governor pressure, & control pressure on MOST MB automatics upto 1996.

Trans overload switch is just that. a signal that allows the engine to develop LESS torque so that the trans won't take as much punishment during shifts.
