1997 c36 tranny same as c43
I know that 97 c36s came with a 5 speed auto but I am not sure if it the same tranny that is in all the c43's. The reason I ask is because I want to buy a c36 soon but don't want the c43's tranny isssues.
thanks

Yes it will also affect C36 and C43.
You could look at service history, but if you;re looking for mint condition C36, Iam selling mine and the transmission issue has been address (it has new transmission).

If you search this forums and some other forums i.e (www.amgpower.com, www.mercedesshop.com, www.club202.com) for transmission failure you will see that it affect 5 speed electronic transmission.
Tranny failure is not a suprrised anymore.
I did try to gather some info on how many of us has had some transmission issue. Apparently not all owner that I knew had the problem reply to the post yet.

If it still has the original transmission chances are its will die sooner or later.
PS: This affect 5 speed electronic transmission
Hope this helps.
