car wont move without gas & buck between shifts from 3 - 4
this morning after starting my car and switching it to drive I noticed my car did not creep forward. I gave it a little gas and off we go. Left my neighborhood and began to accelerate. The shift between 3rd to 4th gear felt like a total loss of power and bucked the car. I can't find anything really on this after searching. People have had these issues but nothing that correlates with eachother. Any ideas?

just started the car again. When switched the "D" and foot off the brake the vehicle does not move forward an inch. "E" brake is off and brakes havent been changed recently.
Car goes into reverse no problem. Maybe a tiny hesitation but I feel that has always been there.
Read it could be a lack of transmission oil. But also saw it could be a bad valve body solenoid. You guys know this **** better than me though.

Always rolls in my parking spot at work. When I was on lunch I decided to see if sport or manual mode would do anything. Car jerks forward (foot off brake) and stops. No creep forward besides that initial jerk.

Not normal. Try resetting adaptations?

What a depressing sight. No, I didn't have CEL. Which makes it even more weird. It was dripping something underneath when I pulled over though. I was gonna check it out when the tow truck moved the car (make sure it's not just ac condensation) but the tow truck took almost 2hrs to get to me. It was dried up by that time.

So my mechanic just called. He said he thinks its being caused by multiple gears attempting to engage at once. That he thinks it could be the Valve Body and has a friend that owns a transmission shopping coming by later to make sure that it's exactly that. Yea, idk what to do at this point lol. So worried about headbolts never thought it would be the trans that get me...

when my transmission was 1 quart low on fluid, diagnostics stated transmission was in multiple gears at once. it would shift aggressively, or not shift at all. sometimes it would feel like it was riding in neutral then all of a sudden shift aggressively while in motion. from a stop sometimes car would just rev up and not move, as it was in neutral, then randomly decide to drop into a gear, sometimes at a higher rpm so the car would jerk.
when my conductor plate was bad, my transmission locked itself in 1st or 2nd gear. i forgot exactly. i have a W211 E63.
good luck with your car. let us know what the outcome it.

So what was the fix for you? New valve body or new fluids? I think my car is show the same signs of something going wrong because the shifts have been rough for the last week and it also stalled on me twice when switching from S to C when parked... Also the RPM's are bouncing when changing the modes.

Transmission needs a complete rebuild. $5400-$6900
Im curious, a big portion of that would be a new Valve Body. But I noticed the Weistec upgrade is actually cheaper than OEM. What would it take to get this Valve Body paired to my transmission? I asked the transmission shop and he said he cant do it because it requires programing

what exactly failed in your transmission? i would ask exactly because if they're simply replacing what you'd replace to do a Weistec rebuild...well you know what you should do here. Not sure if you saw the other thread where one of our members just purchased upgraded clutch packs and is having his transmission rebuilt.
