About a month ago I had my atf changed by a local (non Mercedes) garage. They did not use genuine fluid or a new filter. The box is a 5 speed version with S & W settings, and is in my 1998 E240 which I love. . I had believed the box was poorly, as it changed jerkily, and often went into limp home mode. Anyway, I have now replaced the air mass meter and cured the poor engine power and smoothed out gear changes. Lately however the car loses drive for some seconds, then gradually re-engages and behaves itself once more. Oh, It still goes into limp home mode occasionally. The rest of the time the car behaves impeccably despite its 139,000 miles. Can anyone advise? Will another atf change with the genuine stuff and a filter help? If so, what quantity is needed?
