Gearbox Specialist In The North East

[Brendon366]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2007 C280 W204, parked up almost 6 months ago because the gearbox is in what I would desrribe as limp mode as its banging between P/R/N/D and won't shift above first in drive.

I scanned it with a code reader and got 'P0717 – The Signal From Component Y3/8N1 (Turbine Speed Sensor, VGS) Is Not Available' which after googling and searching on here is the TCM in the gearbox gone bad and it needs to be removed and rebuilt.

I've contacted every independent around the North East and nobody wants the job to fix it, I suspect the 7G gearbox is putting them off

Would anyone be able to advise of anyone in the North East they have used for similar issues, or even if anyone on here wants paying to come out and do it... As it stands I've had this Merc parked on my drive for over 6 months with the best offer I've had just to get rid of the thing being £120 from a local scrap car dealer.

TIA

Only one I can think of is Easi Gears in Stockton. I can’t tell you anything about them, as I’ve never used them, but they’ve been in business a long time

Would a used gearbox not sort this out?
I've seen them go for peanuts.
