Transmission MYTH solved forever!!!!! GREAT RESULTS!!!

Hey...

Well if you have been following many threads lately you noticed that I have been posting about fixing my transmission hard shifts on the 240D. We have engaged in a conversation about the 3/2 valve on top of the valve cover. Many said that it does not control the transmission at all and some have claimed that it does. I opened the little black box on top and I noticed that I had two of those valves. I attached the MITY VAC and one was leaking BAD. I decided to change the locations on each one meaning I basically switched their spots. I didn't think anything would come out of it but let me tell you..... "The transmission shifts like BUTTER, I cannot even tell when it is shifting." If you are having bad problems with your transmission please do yourself a favor and check these valves. As a matter of fact I still need to purchase one since I just rotated them and that means that one is still bad. I have pics from my other threads to show exactly what I am talking about.. I even found a great price on the valve for about 25 bucks.

I just want to thank everyone that has helped me through my numerous threads. I know I ask alot of questions but you cannot learn if you don't ask. Thanks again for your help. I would not own a diesel BENZ if it wasn't for this site.

PS. I really cannot tell that my car is shifting. It is AWESOME.

Here is the pic of where the two little valves are located....



Here is a pic I found on the internet to show you what the valve looks like...mine wasn't this yellow but it was white instead
