The auto gearbox has a tendency to stick intermittently in gear and wont shift into any other gear. When the ignition is switched off and then back on the gearbox all is okay again, for a while.
It mainly happens when in traffic when the gearbox is up and down through the gears. This is when it will on occasion become stuck in a gear.
I suspect it could be the gearbox contact assembly which is connected to the solenoids.
I've been to the main dealer but the cost seems excessive.
My question is this.....Of the other non OEM suppliers who sell this contact plate part, at less than half of the Mercedes price, any good? as their costs are far below the Mercedes OEM cost.
I'm in the UK and want it to be sourced here.
