The air intake tubes? O.o

Just for future reference, the way these transmissions work when you remove your foot from the throttle, they act like a manual and stay in the gear you were in and slow you down. That is totally normal operation.

Thought it was tranny or conductor plate as well but then remembered having same issue with e53 x5 it kicked even harder and later on started to die on every stop, one of inlet tubes was disconnected complitely,
Funny that none of three shops i came in to check why my w211 kicks were able to find this problem, they all kept saying its normal!

Those are my finidngs in the CL with the same gearbox/TCU

There's no rev match feature like on the newer cars... Blip the gas like a manual and it's smooth.

I don't have any either. I do see where the tubes have a raised bump that's normally indicative of a screw clamp with the rubberized bottom and a slot to keep it from rotating.

After reading this thread I'm a little confused how a gap in your intake tube could cause a downshift clunk or whatever it is

My goofy intake tubes are a little loose but could someone confirm that this could cause a transmission problem?

Thanks
