day.

So his mechanic offered him 700 and he took it.

The car had an sls issue on the left rear, a stall issue when accelerating
from stop, and a random gear selection issue. The drivers seat leather was
torn. It had sone scratches. Anyway sounded like a headache.

2018-05-31 Thread Mitch Haley via Mercedes
If the TCM has failed, it's probably from ATF wicking up the wires and into the 
module. Sometimes it can be cleaned, sometimes it's fried. 
In all cases, it needs a new connector at the transmission. 
If I tried to drive it home as-is, I'm sure it would go into limp mode and stay 
in 2nd gear before it got here. When they become intermittent, it's only a 
matter of time before the computer decides to protect the powertrain. 
https://www.amazon.com/Mercedes-Transmission-Connector-Adapter-Genuine/dp/B00DOCVVVI

Usually intermittent weirdness comes from the conductor plate, not the TCM. 
https://www.amazon.com/MERCEDES-BENZ-TRANSMISSION-CONDUCTOR-1997-2007-E300-E320/dp/B007V6FGGO

My S420 TCM was dry, the only problem was ATF on the connector pins down at the 
trans. And this is a car that some idiot drove to work all winter in 2nd gear. 
A new connector, a can of brake cleaner, and a computer reset was all it 
needed.

Sounds like the transmission control module is out. Or so he is being told.
The quote to fix it was 1250. He says the car moves fine but doesnt
reliably go into the gear you select. Seems like I have heard of this
failure before; perhaps there is a simple component swap to deal with it?

Jaime (and I, if it's 4matic which is probably is not) are interested in it as 
a car. 

1. It's the very last of the 210 chassis, and there weren't many of them made. 
2. It's probably 100% rust free. 
3. It has less than 100k on the odo, mine had 234k on it when I bought it six 
years ago.

Yes in LA.

Further questioning reveals a shifting issue; it doesnt always do what it

Anyway seems like parting it out may be the best option for him.
