Unhappy My 2002 S500 has code p0702, please help

Hello

My 2002 S500 has code p0702 with generic scanner

My car wont upshift or downshift, it appears to be stuck in 2nd or 3rd as i can get to about 80 but, rpms will be around 6,000 rpm

The W & S button don't work and triptronic doesn't work either

The TCM had fluid in it and the trans plug had oil on it.
I've cleaned the TCM and its connectors with contact cleaner, I replaced trans plug. I also cleaned its wires and the 13pin male connector on conductor plate with contact cleaner.

I Still have the problems mentioned above

If someone can help it will greatly appreciated.

Thanks

When you cleaned the Transmission Control Module, did you find a mysterious tiny silver can loose in the box? Happened to a friend and I when we cleaned his TCM.

The can was a capacitor that had broken the solder connections and fallen off. We hunted until we found a photo online that gave us the proper orientation, soldered the cap back onto the circuit board, and the transmission has shifted properly for a couple of years so far...
