E240
Problem fixed (2005 E240)
Thanks for the helpful information, I fixed mine.
Here goes my report:
Symptom:
Start up cold engine, at low rev (between 1,000-1,600 rpm), transmission tugs and engine surge like applying sudden engine brake or almost like oil cut, observed no gear shift on transmission.
Once engine warms up to normal working temperature, problem disappeared.
Service experience:
- sent to dealer, no mentioned on service check report.
- tried replaced transmission oil, replaced spark plugs, replaced some gear shaft parts to no avail.
- follow solution mentioned here, replaced "TORQUE CONVERTOR CONTROL SOLENOID", problem FIXED!
Now runs as smooth and quiet as an E-class should be.
I purchased a 2006 W211.026 with the 722.6 NAG1 transmission with this same problem. I fixed it by replacing the Torque Converter Control Solenoid, part number A 140 277 04 35 $63.

2003 E320 W211 surge or bucking at low speeds
My 2003 E320 would surge or 'buck' at low speeds like 15 mph, similar to driving a car with a manual transmission at very low speeds. I thought there was a problem with the transmission because of the way it felt driving, but August European checked it out and cleaned the throttle body and the problem seems to have gone away even 3 months later.

E320 W211
Modification needed
Hi I'm new here, but had the same problem. Mine was fixed by an independent auto gear box specialist who said there is a part inside the gearbox that needs to be modified.
Had mine done and since then it's been fine. They sent off my torque converter for a rebuild and modified the part all for £1200.00 all in. I had to go with out the car for a week while they carried out the work.
Hope this helps.
