2005 E320 Transmission Fluid Question PLEASE HELP
I have a 2005 E320 with 103,000 miles and I wanted to change the transmission fluid to do some maintance repairs. I took it to AAMCO to have them replace the Fluid, I took them a bottle of slick 50 transmission fluid and 8q of transmission fluid type Valvoine ATF
approved for MB NSB-1.
They replaced the fluid and turned on the car but the transmission never worked or engaged they indiacted its the wrong transmission fluid and I would need to get MB Fluid at the dealer. I towed it to a MB service tech and what I'm going to ask them to do is to Flush the system and replace it with MB fluid.
My Question, with what happened would this of damaged my transmission ?

Yes, it is possible. My own car had the wrong fluid in it, and it started to dissolve the clutch material.
BTW, I think you want the W211 E-class forum, not this one.
