Hey guys, I got a problem with the transmission wondering if anyone has any ideas on this problem. When I put the shifter in drive it doesnt go into gear, even if I put it in reverse or 3,2,or 1. It's like I'm in neutral. What I do is that I put it in drive and wait about a minute or so and it finally goes into gear, after that it drives fine with no problem until I put it back into park then I have to do the same thing over again. There's no transmission codes or any other codes. I hate to bring it to a transmission place cause I'm sure they will say it needs to be rebuild. So hopefully someone will have some clue what's going on with this tranny. Thanks My car is a 1999 E320 4matic

You cannot pull transmission codes with an OBD2 code reader in a W210. The TCU module is not connected to the OBD2 port, only to the 38-pin connector under the hood and that requires DAS to pull the codes. Put it on a proper diagnostic system and then see what you have.

You an also go to Amazon and purchase the ATSG 722.6 technical manual and it provides in-depth detail on codes and symptoms.
