Joe, good luck with your 2002 E320. Unless the maintenance records show the transmission fluid/filter have been changed recently I would recommend doing that soon. Be sure to use only the recommended transmission fluid. Although the transmission fluid is supposedly good for life that vintage transmission fares better with routine transmission fluid changes ... say every 50,000 miles, as opposed to every 30,000 miles in the older MB vehicles.
