OK, what in particular do you need to know?

The CPS is in and the Mayor is coming by with his code reader, wish me luck guys. :) The car doesn't clunk into gears anymore, but it's still in limp mode. hopefully the code reader will clear the problem. :D

:mad::mad: Po715 ???

You need to have the transmission scanned for fault codes. Most common problems are transmission slippage due to fluid loss, or faulty speed sensors in the conductor plate.

I would like to thank you guys especially my man Gilly. The clk is at the indies shop already. With all the info posted here, I feel educated enough to know what i:m talking about. Thanks again guys. :D

I belkieve the P0715 is a faulty turbine/input speed sensor fault, meaning a new conductor plate..

The indie said that the 13 pin connector and some shift cellonoids are bad. WDYGT? :D

I would do the 13 pin connector just as a matter of course, but not the shift solenoids. Does this guy do just Mercedes? I'd ask him what he makes of the code you have, which is for the input (turbine) speed sensor, which is part of the conductor plate.
OH, is this what the PM at the other site referred to, THIS question?
Gilly

Yes. Also he is a former MB tech with the Star code reader.

the clk is back on gthe road. I will post the repair bill later. :D

I:m starting to get nervous guys, with all the work that was done on my clk. I just noticed that the tranny cap wasn:t opened so how did the guy put new tranny fluid in the car? :eek:

If the guy is doing it correctly, the lock should be replqaced. Unless they discovered some way to remove the cap w/o breaking the lock. Unusual as you would think they would charge for a new lock, probably a couple bucks. If they did it right you might not know if they removed it or not.

Questioning the "speed sensor" as I would still insist (although w/o any real research) that the speed sensors (there are a couple) are part of the conductor plate. Which I think costs more than $67.00.

He said he was going to replace the connector, which again I would have done as part of the job, or at least the 2 o-rings, and I see no parts for that listed.

I can't make out what the item is on the second line in the parts area, where the price is listed for the atf.

The whole thing is pretty weird.

Well the clk is back in limp mode, I find that it happens when I am driving slow and it clunks into gear. This time I pulled off the road and turned off the car and removed the key and then started it back up and it ran fine. Any new suggestions? :confused::confused::confused:

I still have a problem with the "rpm sensor" as i believe it is part of the conductor plate. The only thing NOT included with the conductor plate is the solenoids themselves, the rpm sensors are part of the conductor plate. The price of $67 I think is too cheap for the conductor plate.
There is also the question about the connector that wasn't done last time and we never really got a conclusion on the lock still being in place but he didn't charge you for one.
On the invoice you scanned, what is that on parts line 2, underneath where is says 8 qts fluid? Looks something like "lifter"??
