Back in mid 2007 I had the 032-545-12-32 TCU installed. This took care of the tranny jerk for good.

$300!? If you find out which vendor it was, please post it. The torque converter jerks are very annoying in this car.

Well I called that website, duval/trademotion. The service guy was a real *** and blew me off after a couple mins saying he's got parts to be selling. Anyways Mercedes lists the tcu as a theft item he says and it can only be purchased in person. The price Is now $740. Yikes

if anybody can find a source for cheaper, please do tell

Think there's anywhere we could do a group-buy from? I'd have to imagine we could get at least five people, probably ten, and for as much as we'd be paying even discounted, it would probably add up for some given vendor.

Sorry to bump a 4 year old thread but I've got the 1-2 jerk shift too. My question is do we know if a TSB exists out there? Even if our cars are out of warranty aren't the dealers suppose to address for free with the updated '03 TCU?
