My this is presumptuous. I will be extremely shocked if he does not report back that the dealer did not know what he was talking about. My dealer would almost certainly tell me only the V6 models had TCUs.

Hey Glyn what is "They used to do that & you could catch out the TC clutch"? and what is "With the latest flash the car comes to a halt in 2nd gear as well"? Also, my mechanic has been very cooperative with me and he told me anything to let him know, so is there a name for the software update or part number or what should I tell him so he can update it for me? Thanks Glyn and sorry for all the questions about this but I just wanna learn more about this transmission situation and get it fix ASAP cause my lease is coming to an end in couple months.

i had my transmission services by a shop that specializes in German cars and this is the noise my car would make at redline when driven hard the rpm would suddenly drop and the car would go in ti limp mode. I have gone to mercedes and they told me that my transmission was missing about quarter of oil and most likely caused this noise when the torque converter started sucking in the oil. skip video to 3:20 for the sound

I just got a CLK500 with 56k miles--could not find anywhere in the VMI showing the trans service had been done. Should I be in panic mode to get it done? Tranny bucks a bit between 1st and 2nd when cold and in S mode, but nothing crazy.

C300
I'm a tad confused... bought a used C300 4Matic 2010 from a Mercedes dealer here in Canada. Car now as roughly 120000km now. The transmission job (whatever that means) was done prior to me getting it. Should I still get the oil change? If so, where indi garage or dealer?
Thx
