722.6 Transmission Issues advice needed

No fault codes on dash

It’s a Mercedes Benz CLK 2004 with 722.6 gearbox

In low gears, normally 1/2/3 the shifts are jerky.

Sometimes when you start the car, you can’t manually shift it and it’s in “limp mode” where it only revs up to around 2k rpm

The other day, I was driving gently and the car went out of gear by itself. I turned off the car, waited 2 mins and started again, it fixed itself.



I THINK it needs a new conductor plate, and may also be the solenoids.if this is the issue I also want the overlap control sleeves changed if needed.

Do you guys think doing the above will fix the problem, and should I change the solenoids also?

thank you everyone

Yeah it's going to need a new conductor plate & solenoids. That will certainly fix it.

what makes you say solenoids too? As I read that they normally need changing when you have shift flairs? Thanks

You may as well replace both of them while you are at it, since eventually they'll go bad, I'm assuming you either haven't service the transmission before or have really high miles.
