just about 70,000 miles, im a second owner.

issues:
i) hard shifting, especially between lower gears on a random basis (sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt)
ii) the problem described here (i dont know if its tranny related or not) https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...threadid=56407

how much does a ETC usually run and is it a job that i can do in my own garage?

moral of the story: unless you can get a good deal on a 97-98 model c280, look for other w202s.
I wasn't saying it to be smart, but rather for info for the original poster.

Hey

I have a 1998 C43. I know this isnt a AMG forum but its a C. The 1998 C43 also hass the 722 tranny. I experience clunky shifts beetween 1-2 and 3-4. So i ovoously need updated parts and ECU. Can you shed some lite on this? I have heard people going to the dealership and the technicians act dumb on the subject.
