The magic number of quarts is 3 1/2 total. Or it won't come out of parkġ3-Add 3 1/4 quarts and then start the car and check the trans fluid with the MB trans dip stick. All you need to do isġ-Remove the trans plug on the trans pan and drain the fluidĢ-Remove the Electrical connector on the trans.ģ-loosen the 7mm nut inside the center of the trans connector (round circle plug on the trans, Do So when engine and trans is cold)Ĥ-Remove the 6 bolts on the trans pan and take of the pan.ĥ-Remove the trans filter by pulling it downĦ-Remove 10 bolts on the valve body (there's 4 bolts on the rear and 6 bolts in the front of the valve body)ħ-At this point the valve body will just drop down.Ĩ-Remove 2 plastic covers to access the 6 solenoidsĩ-Remove all 6 solenoids using 30 torx (make sure you organize the solenoids to put it back in the same spot you took it out from.ġ0-Now the Conductor plate will come off just release to plastic tabs and pull strait up.ġ1-Install the new conductor plate in reverse order.ġ2-When reinstall the valve body back in the transmission make sure you guided the parking paw in the slot. The Conductor plate is really not that difficult. The Slight leak from your trans cooler lines won't have an effect on your trans and temp problem. ABS, ecu's, throttle bodies, air mass meters, and catalytic converters (BBA Reman) but like I said before I doubt that's your problem. Actually the Module is not the cheapest repair since the module is around $1000.00, But if it is the problem you could get a used module with the correct part number from a junk yard or BBA reman. MB doesn't even offer the old 722.6 trans fluid anymore since we could use 722.9 fluid in both. Okay, Well this is how it works you could use 722.9 trans fluid in 722.6 but you cant you use 722.6 fluid in the new 722.9 trans. You could reset trans adaptions but you would need a SDS/DAS to do that. When replacing the module you would have to perform an initial start up procedure but since your not replacing it you don't have to do that. If you have an external leak at the Trans connector on the transmission you could replace that. You could just clean it out with electrical cleaner. You will find fluid at the Trans round electrical connector on the transmission but don't be alarmed they all have fluid in them. As for the TCM you could inspect the connector for signs of fluid but I would bet you wont find anything wrong with it or find fluid. I would start there for sure and get some new fluid and filter.

So you said that you didn't use MB approved trans fluid. The Conductor plate sits above your valve body and is usually the main cause of all shifting problems unless your clutches are slipping (you will defiantly know if your clutches are slipping). Most of the time what happens is when you have shifting problems (or limp home mode) its your input and output speed sensors shorting out in the conductor plate due to the clutch material in the fluid. At the dealer we only replace the Electronic Transmission control unit if it has a fault for the control unit being defective. Well what it sounds like to me is your Conductor plate above your valve body.
