thank you sir!!! very helpful link i will do this one this weekend and hopefully this will fix the LIMP MODE problem on my car...if it still acts up i will definitely still take it to the MBZ shop...

 

kewl...rem to take some pics....

 

it is confirmed!!! its the VALVE BODY...i guess im gonna have this baby fixed next weeek..thanks for all the help and info you guys gave me..

 

Has your speedometer been acting erratically? A speed sensor could cause miss shifts in your transmission, other symptoms of it could be your speedometer moving around wildly, or no movement at all.

 

nope!!! no speedometer problem at all, they hooked my car up to the star diagnostic system and it diagnosed VALVE BODY...it will be in the shop by tomorrow....

 

i just dropped off the car at a very reliable MBZ N BMW shop their gonna work on my car till wednesday and its gonna cost me $900 for the valve body, fluid,filter gasket....

 

After it’s repaired, post back what they say they did to the valve body. Thanks

 

the guy hooked the car up to STAR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE and show the the speed sensor is bad..so the guy said to replace the valve body...does this thing fixed the LIMP MODE situation????

 

On my car, the speed sensor sits on a $200 plate(part #1402700861). The valve body is a completely different part (part #1402700406) and costs about $1K. But I'm not a transmission guy, and your transmission could be a lot different than I thought it was, so I'd have to defer to your mechanic.

 

GOOD NEWS!!! the MBZ shop called me and asked me if i was the first owner of the car..i told them im the second coz when they did dropped the pan and other parts needed to get to the VALVE BODY they found out that the TRANSMISSION is still fresh and new even the torque converter is brand spankin new..but the only problem he said is the valve body and sensors that they probably didnt replaced when they did they tranny, so they changed it now...the guy said under my car is all fresh and the previous owner took real good care of thye car...no leaks or what so ever...he said just keep up with the basic maitenance and my car will still run for the next 100k miles...thanks for all you guys advice,inputs and help, i really do appreciate it!!!

 

i got my car yesterday afternoon, test drove for almost 80 miles around town and some highway driving and it feels totally different....it shifts smoother, no more lag in between gears and i dont know how to describe it but its totally different and i love it...so hopefully thats it other than basic maintenance...thank you guys for your help,inputs and suggestions!!!

 

Excuse me, I know this post is over a year ago already, but is this the same C43 that austinholloman is interested in buying?

 

also the price on the conductor plate has come down a lot too, around $100 now. I've also had pretty good luck cleaning the fluid out of the trans modules when they get filled, doesn't always work but will in a most cases.

 

Yes sir it is. He has had all of this replaced and we have talked a lot about. So its all good. I am actually pretty happy knowing this was all solved before I got anywhere near it! So looks like I should be great for the next 100k!
