well when it rains it pours,.
got the BMW on stands, daughters truck is down, 930 tires are bald but I am driving it and NOW the wife calls me and the Mercedes tranny is acting up...AGAIN.
I had the valve body off about 6 months ago. replaced the conductor plate and took the
VB apart and cleaned it up. shifted better than it ever has. wife drives it and its back to acting like the conductor plate is bad.
problem is MB said the trannys had lifetime fluid so nobody ever changed it. I have since drained and just replaced what fluid has come out several times now. there is still a lot of gunk in there that is getting on the conductor plate causing problems. I cant flush it because too many miles on it and at this point flushing will kill the tranny.
240k on the MB.
any ideas how I can do a home flush?
one time on another car I used the lines to the radiator. I opened one to an empty bucket and used the other feed new fluid in with the engine running.
oh yea, I think my Volvo tranny is going. sometimes slips when starting off. 210k on it.
