transmission hesitation Issue, Help
Hi guys, having a slight problem. when I start the e500 in the morning, after the idle goes down, i push on the gas and their is a huge hesitation with no power, than the transmission kicks in and their is a big thrust forward of the car. When I am at a stop sign than proceed to go, I push the pedal down quarters ways and the car would not move, than a big thrust.
Any ideas anyone?

I was told this is a common issue with the e series from my indy, and that the valve body may be the culprit, right now it's not throwing any codes. when the car has reached warm up, it does not happen.

Did you scan the transmission module or did someone with DAS Xentry do the scan that resulted in no faults------there is also a set of guided tests that you do with DAS Xentry to check all the solenoids----did he she or it do that!!

Okay update, just got off phone with my rep over at Eutec here in Sacarmento, they did do the test. everything you mentioned and he also stated, since i have a 04, that the vehicles that had the glycol contamination was 03 or earlier or usually the problem happen 60,000 or less miles and I have 119,000 miles on mine. He did state that that does not mean the 04 or newer would not have that problem also. He states that although I want to do a glycol sample test through blackstone, they could do it and waive the fee in 1hr.
He states that to do the test, if negative, go ahead and change out the radiator to a Behr and flush all fluids completely, if it's positive, than it has to be over a certain amount of contamination, if under, than continue on with everything else mention. process of elimination with trans flush, oil flush, differential flush, brake flush, the latter 3 , i was doing anyway. why not just get it done. than we can move to the engine and trans motor mounts.
