TCU failure. Who did the service? Does your car have the torque converter plug and did they drain it?Are you SURE they put the fluid in the right tube? I think 5 liters is too much if they didn't drain the TC and not enough if they did.

Why did you change the fluid to begin with? Changing fluid (properly) doesn't cause the failure you're experiencing. Before you think about replacing the whole xmission find out what they did wrong. Also, if it won't go into gear how did you "go around the block"? Start by checking the fluid level.

the car be shoping a slight slip around corners. So i decide to change the fluid.
they said the drop the pan, drain it, change the filter and put it back, put bout 5 lliter of fluid /OEM ATF oil from MB.
once it changed they test drove it, and all hell broke loose... I guess I ment to say the car just won't change out of 1st or get into rev. and if is in first it just REV... im sitting at 3-4k and going bout 15mph crawling...
