300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Did you

replace the electrical connector on the side of the trans when you cleaned out the tcu?
DIY on www.benzworld.org w210 diy section.
Then do a battery disconnect and resync all systems to see if the car goes out of limp mode.

cleaning the connectors are only temp . fix . you wants to find out where the oil are coming from . in most cases it is sucking from the loose relucter plate inside the valve body.
