Diagnosing, Adjusting and Fine Tuning Mercedes Automatic Transmissions

For me 2010 is going to be the year of the transmission. I hope to deliver a number of kits and manuals that will help you solve your transmission woes. As these diesel automatics age the problems become more complex and the solutions more challenging. 

I hope you will find these kits and manuals helpful in sorting out your own transmission woes.  I am working hard on this and having more fun than a barrel of monkeys.  Kent Bergsma

 

 When "de-bugging" an automatic transmission shift problem you need to go about it in a systematic manner. Just throwing money and parts at the problem will usually not cut it. 

Before assuming the worst or I recommend you do the following:

  • Don't spend any money on expensive parts until doing a proper diagnosis
  • The manuals and test kits I offer will help you isolate the problem
  • If you are having a shop work on your transmission be extra cautious
  • Get more than one opinion if seeking help from a transmission shop
  • Think outside the transmission first. Many problems are external. Follow the sequence below

Before considering a replacement read my my new transmission tuning manual manual will walk you through 8 phases of diagnostics and repair to get your transmission shifting properly. You may be surprised to learn just how many problems can be "adjusted out." 




New 125 page transmission tuning manual and associated repair kits will help you "fix it yourself" and possibly save hundreds of dollars.

 


During the time I have spent testing and tuning transmissions, I found a number of products that are easy to install and can help improve transmission performance. I will be adding more to this list in the months to come. Sometimes a $3.00 part can go a long way to fixing a BIG problem.
