Hi all I have been searching threads for months trying to cure my problem.I am costantly getting P0700 code and I have thusfar replaced condutor plate and adapter.complete fluid change.TCM was thoroughly cleaned and shifter was replaced. codes were erased by star dianostic tool. The car would shift out sometimes without an issue and then go to limp. i ussually get a somewhat harsh 2-3 shift, and in passing gear it dosen't always shift out. Hopefully i can change out the valve body by weekend after that I'll be beat. Any and all suggestion would be appretiated Thanks

How long since the transmission fluid was changed? I don't mean it will solve your problem but since you are in there anyway. If it's been 100K since the last one it's probably a good idea to begin planning for it. When pulling the pan inspect for debris in the bottom. A small amount of fine grit is normal but larger pieces of anything could spell a problem.

I bought the car 6 months ago with 141000 miles i have no previous records changed the fluid and filter and there was no alarming amount of debris in the pan

UPDATE two days ago i change the valve body drove for six miles then it was back to her old tricks. yesterday I revisited all of my electrical connectors, bought a fresh can of CRC electronic cleaner and thoroughly cleaned both sides of all conectors (TCM and harness connector,adapter and harness connector,removed the shifter and cleaned the gear recognition switch and its connector) I went out for an hour, returned and assembled everything.Drove the car for an hour(mild to moderate) and she was flawless. I am still going to my MB tech friend today to get the tranny scanned so i won't do a victory dance just yet
