I own a W212 E350 4Matic (2013) and recently had multiple issues with the driveshaft so I opted for the option of canceling the 4Matic system which is a common operation in my country as we don't have snow and the spare parts for the 4Matic are pretty expensive.
Everything is working great except when accelerating during/after cornering or when bypassing someone on the freeway, it's expected that the TCS kicks in if it detects slipping but there is a huge drop in power as well along with a jerk in the transmission.

My guess is that the transmission is attempting to transfer torque to the front and it's unable to due to the cancellation, has anyone faced this kind of issue before? is it solvable by transmission coding for example? or would I need to swap the transmission control module or even the entire transmission?

**UPDATE:
After some live code/data reading and test drives, turned out it's a pure transmission issue where gears 2 & 3 are slipping, the rest is it's just regular TC reactions.

Thanks
