s211 Conductor plate

[merc85]

Following on from my other thread,

What sort of issues do you get when a conductor plate is on the way out?

My car stutter's high rpm but only in Comfort mode? s211 e320 cdi (53)

Definitely will throw codes up. It's normally the speed sensor on the plate that fails which causes it to stick it one gear. Sometimes you will get them back on a restart but not for long. ATF level been checked?

No but was only changed last year, conductor plate was said to be ok at the time.

Does a gearbox code flag up a engine management light?

Didn't on my W210 and don't think it does on the W211 either.

I believe STAR can reset the gearbox adaptations, if you were closer you would be welcome to use mine. There have also been threads on a way of doing it without (ign.2, press x, do y, etc etc) but not sure if this actually works or not. I'll see if I can find it, may have been on the other side or on the one across the pond.
