Gerry's got a good point, I think there were two relatively simple / cheap fixes, the conductor plate and some other connection on the trans where the o-ring fails and allows ATF to wick up into the wiring bundle and cause havoc.
It has also been mentioned that a weak battery will cause a low voltage condition which manifested as transmission problems, so monitoring the electrical system / measuring the system voltage when cold and comparing to the "hot enough that the tranny dies" may be worth keeping in mind. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 5:52 AM archer75--- via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I seem to remember someone saying that most problems with ??????
