Mercedes transmissions by Daimler Benz Corp.
Hard shifts are common and can usually be adjusted out. Revving between shifts is also adjustable, but it’s often a sign that the transmission is on its last legs. Low power is often a transmission issue. They start off in Second gear, and if the transmission doesn’t kick down to First when needed, it will result in very sluggish acceleration. Driving in “S” around town will change your shift points, resulting in more responsive acceleration.
Curing these issues is not so hard to do if your transmission is healthy. If you already have a transmission problem, then an upgrade kit won’t help until the problems are corrected. A Mercedes transmission is a complicated and finicky transmission. When it is time to rebuild a Mercedes Benz automatic transmission there are a few rules of thumb that must be followed for lasting success.
1. It is absolutely necessary to use factory original rebuild parts. They are specifically engineered for the Mercedes transmission, and aftermarket parts will cause operational issues. Saving money on non OEM (original equipment manufacturers) parts is nor saving money in the long run. In most cases the transmission does not shift up to the expectations of the customer.
2. An transmission upgrade-update kit which can be purchased through the dealer or even better, one of the Transgo Mercedes Benz updates kits.
If these two rules are followed and the transmission is assembled correctly, you will have a transmission rebuilt with the proper ingredients for long term success and value.
