Torque converter replacement cost
Lately I have started feeling slips on highway which turned out to be from torque converter per dealer diagnosis. Dealer quotes 5k to replace it, calling it as "CVT-Torque converter" in the quote. Last time when it was replaced in warranty 4 years ago I remember bill was generated for around 2k even though I didn't pay anything at that time. Does this sound right ? Vehicle is 2015 E400. Thank you in advance for your responses.

very odd diagnosis
I thought the same originally.... this does sound like busy work.
last time for free but now again for profit. TC is not a normal-wear service item.
The old tranny has been around long enough that pro should be able to call the shots correctly.
Get yourself a second opinion about your issue, not TC...

Thank you @ygmn and @CaliBenzDriver for the replies. Before switching to Mercedes, I never paid attention or learned about TC. I do feel it struggle ( or may be slipping ) on highway speeds when I give acceleration. So the issue is there and may damage the transmission if not addressed soon is my fear.
