I would take the car to the dealer you bought it from and have them fix it.

the dealer was not a MB dealer, just a used car dealer. They are also 7 hrs away. In town we have a MD specialist who is real good.

Sounds like the TCM, or the linkage itself. When mine strated shifting erratically, MB replaced the electronics - TCM, conductor plate, fluid and filter, before figuring out a loose screw where the linkage met the trans was the cause. The position of the shifter, within a millimeter or 2, is absolutely crucial to driveability. Someone more knowledgeable can tell you if the codes point to a definite cause. This was my experience.

codes

Hi Dj The codes seem to indicate a problem with the shift module and the speed sensor which is in the conductor plate.I would first look under the veh by the frt bellhousing and see if there is a fluid leak at the electrical connector going into the trans,you may just be low on fluid and need a new connector( very common).Iam new in Apex,just moved from LongIsland,if you need to have the codes read,or the trans adaptations checked,let me know.Joeym
