Pls help with my Transmission Problem
Recently I discovered that my gearbox occasionally has strange problems. When I try to put the gear to D, it will automatically jump to neutral. If I continue to flick the gear lever several times, the car will start in D3, and the gear will not be lower than D3 in the following driving. This situation occurs irregularly, but it usually occurs at a certain point in time after I frequently start and shut down the engine (the recent trip requires me to go to different places in a short period of time). Does anyone know what the problem is? There are no fault lights and this situation will disappear when I drive the next day.

Dealer replaced some transmission parts (transmission valve body? or shell? & gearbox mounts), don't remember exactly what was replaced but it cost me about $4000+. And if you are out of warranty then you need to pay for the diagnosis first. hope it helps.

You won't believe it. In Mb work shop they didnt see that the transmission oil isn't the right one when they change it (120 000)and that the oil is leaking somewhere so the oil start to burn the electronic on my transimission.
So i had to change the complite transmission.
He told me its better to change the oil every 60 000km
no matter what does mb service say.
Now my MB e class work and i'm happy to have it
And the MB work shop won't touch my car anymore.
In our country the mb work shop they just want money and they dont know how to fix cars.. and i see now because everytime they have a car there, after one week something was wrong with my car.

What year is your vehicle, what is the mileage on your vehicle, when did you last changed the transmission fluid and filter, what ambient temperature does this happen and what temperature of the transmission fluid does it happen? Do you notice any leaks? How is the transmission fluid condition/level/ any metal shavings?
