97 e320 tranny question
 

please help?

i have a vibration coming through the tranny at 35mph as soon as the lockup locks up.
at higher speed it is not that nocible and seems better when oil gets hot.
have changed the trans. fluid as car has done 64k....still the same.....also changed trans. mounting bracket...

IS THIS THE START OF A PROBLEM OR IS THERE ANY ADJUSTMENTS??????

THANKS
SPIKE

:D

One procedure suggests to erase the current adaptations and relearn the shifting.

The adaptation values for the shift in question should be noted and shouldn't be above 180 for a six cyl. After a period the adaptations should then be monitored to see if high readings come back.

thanks steve.

how do i erase these adaptions values?
i read somewhere that codes can be pulled for tranny......do i clear it with scanner?

sorry if these questions seem silly. dont know much about trannies...
thanks

Yes a scanner will be needed to view the values. The controller might loose its adaptations by unplugging it.

thanks steve

do you believe that the vibration is due to the electronics not shifting properly (and resetting it will cure it) or is there a problem looming with the tranny.

thanks

-

can anybody tell me where this controller is ...should i unplug it?

any suggestions :D

does any one know where else i could get advice on this? i know tranny questions are not that general.
any advise would be appreciated.

thanks :D

SORRY GUYS.
i thought i would just try one more time and see if anyone has any advise.

i am concerned that it could be the start of a tranny problem and would rather get rid of the car if it is.

thanks:D

could i be off track here.

any possibility that it is a bent or out of balance drive shaft?

thanks
