C250TD auto box

[kingal1970]

hello
my auto box for my 1997 c250TD is going to need replacing soon - can anyone tell me if another c class or another merc has the same box with the same ratios. It is a 5 speed auto not the tiptronic one though - and if any one knows where there is one please let me know
many thanks

What is wrong with your box

 

[kingal1970]

it over revs on changing gear

When it goes from 3rd to 4th it over revs - im told its gearbox flare where the clutches are worn and theres no mre autmatic adjustment and it needs total rebuild.
Im not an autobox expert so i was only going on what ive been told
thanks

Low fluid levels will do this, I take it that the ATF levels have been checked

fluid levels

i will get it checked but was told unless the gearbox leaks there is nowhere the oil can go so it shouldnt be low - i will need the special dipstick for it though so i guess a trip to mercs for that. thanks for the help i will keep you posted.

It may have been leaking for years, just that it was such a small leak you never noticed it.
