99 C230kompressor tranny info
 

Hey all,

Next week I acquire a 99 c230k. The tranny has the switch for S and W and Im familiar with what both do. The W mode even though its for winter, provides a smoother ride (which I noticed based on my C240) but is it still ok to drive with that mode on in the summer for extended periods of time such as leisurely smooth city driving? Also do these late w202 trannys "learn" how you drive or can you drop the pedal whenever you want and its ready? :)

You can leave it in " W " mode.
It just starts in second gear & shifts much sooner ( to avoid wheelspin in the winter ).
The transmission is " adaptive ", i.e. if you are an "agressive " driver, it will learn your habits ( higher shiftpoints ) fairly quickly. ;)
