And once your up to freeway speeds you can do whatever. I do realize it can get worse. My last 01 e320 had many warning lights plus the throttle would act like winter mode. You know. Reduced power. Then the car finally would not start. The TCM had fluid wicked up in it. I spent about $1800 getting it repaired. New conductor plate, a refurbed or used TCM, the 13 pin connections and a good trans service. I just don’t want to spend the extra money if I can do it myself

This one is dry underneath and I don’t see any leaks
