(7G-Tronic) Rough and jerky gear change to the 2nd gear,, intermittent (Sometimes) no

Hi guys


W211 E550 2007 WDBUF72X97B024913

Sometimes i notice a rough and jerky gear change in the second gear change, i think its occurs in the early morning, its intermittent not always, i mean in the first car runs and it disappeared after using the car many times a day.

In the diagnosis ( Autel diagnostic tool ) the transmission doesn't show any fault codes as well as the engine and everything seems to be quite okay.

Could someone help me to find out whats wrong if its really exsist !!??


Thx

2007 E350
Speed turbine sensor/ Conductor plate/Transmission Control Unit

I experienced the same symptoms on my 07 E350.Eventually it started to go into limp mode with no check engine light.I used to restart the car and it went away until the check engine came on and the car would not reset after turning g it off and on. I have a VGS2 TCU so I was able to replaced the conductor plate instead of the whole TCU. Mercedes Benz dealership did the job. $1500 it's been great ever since. Good luck!

Hi ive been having the same problem in my E500 2005 and I was just on the phone to Mercedes-Benz dealer and he said to me when taking off from a intersection say...put it into manual mode and this should cut out the limp stall mode that the car is going into....haven't tried yet but ill give it a go.
