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? On Wed,

Yes in LA. Further questioning reveals a shifting issue; it doesnt always do what it is told apparently. Anyway seems like parting it out may be the best option for him. On Tue, May 29, 2018, 5:51 PM Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Where is it located? > > On
