Replacing the transmission has little or nothing to DO with the Trans control unit!! The control unit is a small computer that controls the trans. IF the replacement transmission was working fine & now the car is out of warranty the only way that you could get any FREE work done IS "Goodwill".

Both the old trans & new trans is susposed to hold in gear when cold!! MB has done this since 1990 on all gas cars.
