While driving I did hear and feel what sounded like transmission slipping generally on moderate acceleration from about 30mph. Sounds like a groan and you can feel vibration. Scan later revealed a code 147 which confirms slipping.

OK so I have a slipping trans. Ive done a search and it appears that there are many things wrong with the 1996 version of the 722.6 trans. Some are very simple alike a $3.00 spring etc.

I would like to know what can be corrected with the trans in the car. What should I try before pulling the transmission out of the car for overhaul.

This trans is out of a 1996 SL600 with 46,000 miles. I have also erased the adaptation values recently. Can that be causing it to slip as it re-adapts.

I dont have a thermocouple but the fluid level has been adjusted so that the highest it gets it just to the top of the 80°C range when hot and fully warmed up.
