Hey guys,

Has anyone ever done this before and can tell me about how long it takes?

Thanks!

Electronic conductor plate MB part number 140-270-08-61???

Have installed several hundred of them... takes less than an hour..first time out should be less than 2 hrs..be very clean & careful! NO cloth rags, use clean trans fluid to clean off the solenoids when swapping.

Thanks M.B Doc,

Yes, I meant the "conductor plate". The car is still having intermittent starting issues - wont even crank. I have replace the ESM and the EIS to no avail. I can start the car every time though if I just clear the codes.

Dealer daignosed both the above - I replaced them. I am hoping it is the neutral safety switch on the conductor plate that is keeping the trans from reporting back to the DAS.

Have you ever heard of that?

Yes...should register that code as well..
