MCT_conductor plate fail

hi, all

my car is 2011_s212_E63_M156. It uses MCT transmission. MCT transmission shows up this code, Y3/8n4.

(1)Does this code mean need to replace whole conductor plate. MCT's conductor plate comes with solenoid and ani't cheap. This conductor plate only last for 1 year and 3 months.

(2)Does any shop know how to repair it? VGS3_04A3

thnaks to all

thanks to all
A shop with experience on these transmissions isn't going to just charge you 2.5Hrs to replace a bad solenoid or shaft sensor, unfortunately.

Hope you come out with less than $3k then that will be a very good day.

An Indy may be the best choice to consider. They may themselves send your car over to a 3rd party shop they deal with and trust.
🤞
