C220 cdi sport AMG 5g automatic
Transmission problems.
My 2009(may) C220 cdi sport amg has lost the ability to use the tiptronic(automatic 5 speed) gearstick and also the the paddles don't work. It will not shift gears above 3rd gear. Have replaced 4th & 5th gear solenoids and fluid and tried another TCM but no change! what action is recommended next please, regards freddie70.

> Can the gearbox shift all its gears well but tip-tronic & paddles stay ineffective ?
or is your geabox shifting only up to 3rd but nothing above?
> You need to read the TCU live data with a scanner to see it's status. Then what's not happening will become obvious.
