1998 E430 4.3L transmission help
I brought the car with 116k miles on it and it wouldn't move at first without pouring transmission fluid in it and drive a bit and stop again. I plugged in my ob2 and received the code po700 transmission control system. I then dropped the pan and found that the filter was dirty so I then removed the valve body as well to find more dirt I disassemble the valve body cleaned it and reassembled it changed the conductor plate with a new one and new plug old conductor plate speed sensor looked to be cracked up so I replaced it put everything back together got new fluid poured in 7 bottles and went thru the gears the wheels rotated but when pressing gas it died down and stopped put car in reverse and it moved return to drive and nothing happened put my code reader back on it and received a new code po748 pressure control sendi A now is the only code that comes up

Help around the corner
I personally do not have any experience with this guy but one of the best Mercedes mechanics in the entire US is just around the corner from you so give him a call, and let us know how things turn out. I am basing this on the caliber of the tasks that he gets involved with that you will see on his website.
