So, fix the limp mode, or swap the $500E300 into it?

It's probably just the cable, connector, or the TCM occasionally acting 
up, either would be fairly easy to fix.  Conductor plate might even be 
marginal.  It looks like the rear is blown though, I think these have 
SLS?  Otherwise looks like a fairly nice car.

My 1999 4Matic has rear SLS.
Seems more robust than S123 or W201 SLS
I think it's standard on wagons, but don't know for sure.
I'd hope the E320 PS pump would fit on a E300 if you wanted to swap 
drivetrains.

Standard on wagons, optional on sedans except the 500E (W124) and the LWB 
W126s, if I recall. You have a rare bird there.

560SEL has SLS, all others (300, 350, 420) do not.

Cool, AMG wagon.  Does sound like an electrical issue like a bad connection or 
bad wiring harness.

Re: [MBZ] Max needs new a 210 White Whale

I watched this vid yesterday of a guy with an ML that had limp mode.  He 
dug into it and found the cable with all the wires to the trans to be 
completely worn down, shorting, not even working. He pulled one from a 
junker and spliced it back in, hoping that would work.  The vid of his 
getting the codes cleared was coming so no resolution there yet.  Which 
reminds me I need to dig into the ML320 and check that aspect, or swap a 
TCM into it and see if it will work.

Runs and drives,but has a shifting issue. Would make a good parts car or can 
fix issue , and it would be a good car. The transmission is a rebuilt amg unit 
but, we believe it's an issue with the transmission control unit or the ecu 
causing it to go into limp mode every so often causing it not to shift! Price 
is negotiable. Car has been in 2 minor rear end accidents. It is a rear wheel 
drive version not the 4matic! Will need to arrange a time to look at vechicle. 
IF ITS STILL UP ITS STILL AVAILABLE! NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE!
