Mercedes model and transmission model number
We suggest that you start with our professional troubleshooting and overhaul manual. This is the same manual you will find in most major transmission shops. These are model number specific and typically include 50 to 85 pages of detailed information, drawings, schematics and specifications. Detailed trouble code information that you can get from your vehicles on-board computer are explained, review of this data will give you a good idea as to the probable cause of the automatic transmission problem. Even if you don't do the work yourself the knowledge you gain may keep you from being ripped off at local transmission shop. If you have particles in the pan of the transmission you can be sure that the same contamination can be found in the cooling system at the bottom of the radiator. With your overhaul parts you should also purchase two cans for radiator cooling system flush and completely purge out all contamination in the cool hoses both output and return as well as the radiator reservoir. It is also recommended that you replace the torque converter, as it is difficulty to clean and purge out the contamination surely to be inside the torque converter.

TorqueConverter Installation Preparation
Many torque converter problems can be avoided with proper preparation:
1) Pre-thread converter bolts by hand to make sure there is no sign of stripped threads.
2) Check and clean crankshaft thoroughly. Change crank spacer (if applicable).
3) Use 320 grit sandpaper or Emory cloth to remove any metal shavings on crankshaft.
4) Check converter for any damage that may have occured during shipping.
5) Pre-fill converter with a minimum of (1) quart of transmission fluid.
6) Clean all paint off the pilot using 320 grit emory cloth.
7) Apply grease, not transmission gel, on the pilot.
8) Check flexplate for cracks and be sure there is no more than .006" runout.
9) Make sure all engine dowel pins are in place and clean.
10) Make sure all electrical ground straps are properly connected.
11) Never, Never use an impact gun to install torque converter bolts. Drivinga bolt into the converter cover will create a dimple on the lockup apply surface. Lockup clutch failure will occur when the lockup piston applies against and uneven surface. Grinding off on thread length from all lockup converter bolts is recommended to avert this type of failure.
