My 1996 E320 has 53k km when the transmission started to shift very hard from 1-2-3-4, but not from 4-3-2.
The transmission is 722.509 It did not happen over time. I drove the car, everything was fine as usual. Parked and turned engine off. Later that day, had to use the car, started and it had this hard shifting. I brought it to a shop. On the bill ($400) was: Replace valve body piston seal kit Valve body seal kit 100% ATF replacement It did not solve the problem at all. Now they want to overhaul the transmission, lineup etc. I still cannot believe that this is needed after just 53k km. Strange is, the transmission was 100% perfect and very smooth as I turned off the car. Then after turning on, transmission was bad (must be a ghost playing with the transmission during the time the car was not used). Note that I am living in the Philippines, here's no Mercedes service. I found a Mercedes mechanics who worked for Mercedes here before, as we had still a Mercedes service here on the island. But I smell that he just want to make some extra money with a maybe simple and cheap repair. And with an overhaul, he would make a lot of money ($1600)... So, I would be grateful for ANY suggestion about this issue. |
