Hi everyone, I am an old member using the site but this is my first post. I have a 2011 E250 w212 7g tronic (I am not sure if it's plus or non-plus). It has done approx 150k miles and the engine has been maintained well so far. I did one transmission service 2 years ago (fluid change + filter + gasket) and it was okay. However I had a leak of the transmission oil cooler a year ago which was fixed and always wanted to make sure I have enough transmission fluid. So I ask an inde to do another service last week, he said he put in 9L + filter change + gasket. right afterwards, I can feel the shudder feeling at very specific conditions (normally slightly upslop + higher gear + lower rev around 1.2k), when I add a bit of throttle, the car shakes very often, this also happen often on motorway cruising around 50-60mph. other driving conditions the transmission is actually shifting quite nicely. Questions: is this an indication of a bad torque converter? the shudder is annoying however is something I can live with. Should I let it be? or fix it asap? I do plan to do a proper fix/maintainance of the transmission (rebuild if needed) as I love my car. Thanks a lot in advance.

9l is alot , did he also drain the TC .
Yeah they confirmed that they drain the Torque converter. I did a bit self-study into how torque converter works, feels like the locking plate might be bad?? I am trying to find a reputable transmission repair place in the midland to investigate if anyone has good suggestion
