Mercedes automatic transmission reset/reprogram 722.6 automatic 

I wanted to thank you for your video and saving me $1000.00...my ML 320 was doing the "crazy" Erving and not knowing gear it was end! I would pull over...turn it off and restart it and it was fine!! This weekend, that trick stopped working....I stopped at a international garage and was told I needed a new electronic transmission plate....I had a new one put on last year, I didn't think this could be the same problem again. Well, I parked it and try to decide if this was worth getting fixed again.....I decided to try your solution....it worked😊😊😊 I took your advice and drove out on some rural roads to setting to set my driving style. I was successful, but I wasn't convinced this was real!! It felt very powerful"... I did the same thing today out on the rural roads, it felt right and didn't act up on me by over revving and making pull over"... I decided to try the freeway home....I did everything you said by shifting from 1st to 5th..Walla!! IT WORKED GREAT!! Zero to 70 mph...smooth, not a jitter....I would never try this before without having to pray I didn't have to stop and restart it!! Thanks for the video😀😀😀 Greg

Works for early 722.9 transmissions as well . Thought my tranny was slipping on my 2007 cls550 . Wouldn’t pass 3k rpm and struggled to go over 65 mph . After watching the video my car is driving even better than before

fupa, you simply are the man, thank you so much. Our family have been facing some economical problems, we had our break w202 c200t car (our only car) doing nothing on a parking for 6 months, because we couldn't afford the change of the front suspension arm bushings. So I buyed the remplacement, some tools and got some other borrowed and I changed it by myself (scared as s**t because spring compressor... lol), got the thumbs up at the check (spanish ITV) and now it rides beautifully!. Thank you really much!.

Today Realised I Was Very Low On Transmission Fluid,(Leak At Elec Plug Common Fault)...Used Some Lucas Stop Slip And Leak And Topped Up To Correct Level And......Happy Days....For Now..Thanks Again For Upload.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT ALSO FIXED AN ISSUE MY FATHER WAS HAVING WITH HIS 2004 E320 FOR YEARS AND WE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT WHY IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME OR NOT SHIFT PROPERLY UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO. GOD BLESS!

That actually works! Car shifts crisply and the kick down passing gear does not hesitate. But a couple of weeks in NYC traffic messes it up again. This is so easy this way it is worth doing frequently - like before a race. If you use manual shifting and turn off the ASR it is not a problem anyway. Chrysler uses the same tranny on the Hemi without all the electronic confusion and it is better that way.

Thank you so much. I have a 1997 g-class and it was sluggish and harsh when shifting. Shifts beautifully. Your instruction really saved me headache. Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you yet again for this very useful tip. Mine is a W210 E200 (punitive road tax here in Malaysia once the c.c. exceeds 2,400) but the tip should work because it has a 722.6 transmission too. I haven't tried it yet but I know I can take your word for it based on the other tips I've seen here. You have given the answer to something which has been bugging me for a few months i.e. the gear change being rather hesitant and inconsistent at times. There were times in the past when it was so silky smooth. Among the cars I've driven, this one has the smoothest transmission of all. I believe I was the one who had messed up the gear change memory with my "grandfather, light-footed" driving while my wife is much more aggressive. The system must have gotten confused. I'm going to go for power - if the fuel consumption goes up too much, I'll just reset it again.

I've just done this on my car and it works a dream, the difference is already very noticeable, I was very worried at restart as the car juddered and shook about for a minute or two, I was worried I;d done some damage but as soon as increased the revs it stabalised and has been great since. thanks very much for the info,

Thank you for this video in 2024 after doing this for my 1999 W140 S320.

Fupabox: My '99 W140 3.3 ( S320) was revving too high and then suddenly thump-shifting from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th. It is generous guys like you that make owning these great cars a viable proposition. First time didn't work because I think I did it bass-akwards and depressed gas pedal before I turned the ignition - so after a few miles I pulled over and did it again and it worked like a charm. You are my New Best Freind! Thanks so much Bud!

Dude you're the man, thanks for the great advice the c240 has never been smoother. Like you I like good mpg plus I think it's better to have it shift early and accelerate hard when need be.

Thank you very much for creating this video! Has helped make shifts smoother! Cars a '97 C250 Turbo Diesel

Thanks a lot mate ,I’ve just done so Car feels amazing , I was thinking about getting the transmission checked Shifts like a dream , I’ve may been flashed few times as well 😂 Now I can focus on the air bubbles inside fuel lines Thanks again

Yeah it works properly. I still use the car I go to the gym which is only about a mile down the street, and grocery shopping locally around my neighborhood. It parks, reverses well. If I leave it on neutral it slowly moves if I let go of the brake. Now the car speeds up to 45mph but the rpm needle gets too close to the red mark, and I don't want to crush my trany. To be honest I really don't know about engines and trans other than changing oils and brakes. I read your conversations here and I

good to know it'll work on my newer Benz! thanks for sharing!! Just picked up a 99 CL500 today, will try this on that. Had an E420 Sport which was totaled, replaced with the C140

dude...thanks for the vid, very nicely done. You made it so so simple. Did this in wife's e320 1997, saved me alot of money, guys at the shop almost made me buy a new gear box...thanks bro...keep em comin

You are lucky it did not get you stranded yet. My 2000 E55 had a similar problem, happened at home. New Shift Module (the thing in the middle with the shifter) fixed the problem (also, shifter bushing below the floor was bad). Not difficult if you are half-way mechanically inclined... The check engine light would not come on due to this problem, btw.

Wow worked like a charm in my 01 w210 e320. Thanks!! Shifts like butter

Great video - very helpful. It has made a little bit of improvement for me. I have a Mercedes SLK 230 - 1997. It was fine, then this gear slipping started to happen...initially it wouldnt go over 60mph - but the revs wanted to! Revs would be going crazy, but the next gear wouldnt get reached. After trying this, I can now go over 60mph, however...if i completely floored it before, it would drop a gear and shoot me up a few...now though, it just revs, it drops a gear and does not quite go in

I was having a problem with my transmission not shifting out of first no one could figure it out but I tried the whole resetting my transmission by holding my foot on pedal an nd works thanks u are freakn awsume in my book for real thanks

Tried This Today...Vast Improvement......Still A Bit Off ..But My ML 320 Has Been Playing Up For Some Time And I Am Finding It Slightly Strange To Adjust To The Correction And Reset..Will Know For Sure Over The Coming Days And Will Make Another Comment At That Time...Thankyou For Uploading...A Very Generous Piece Of Valuable Info...Greatly Appreciated By All.

Life stories finish at 1:35 with instructions after

2007 E350 and it worked perfectly! thanks fupa!

thank you so much,I think my car is totally different now,much better acelleration after reset. before it sometimes seems to get too slow even if I want to go fast entering the highway.I like my car to drive like maniac though getting away from other bad drivers on the road cause I drive for a living.

This really works! Makes the car feel brand new :)

Don't even have this transmission but was well worth watching for the "Holy Christ moment" hahaha

Thank you so much! You are awesome for posting this video!

Thanks so much, this worked like a charm and my SL500 goes like a bullet now, no more lag! What a great feeling NOT to have to go to the dealer.

Hello, I have a question. My car is 1998 W202 C180 automatic transmission. When I start to drive the car the first and second gears don't change quickly. I should wait long for the changing of gears. After changing the gears it gets normal. I changed the oil because of it but the problem with gears weren't solved. What problem could it be?

Hey guys I owned a Mercedes c230 1997, I bought it last summer and it was working great, speed etc. one day suing December the car wouldn't change from gear 1.. It he car would speed up to 30mph and the rom tracker would get too close to the red line. I assumed that it needed an oil change. Unfortunately it didn't work, but it improved the speed within that 1st gear up to 45mph but it still won't change. I did forget to change it to S and I left it in W. I know that my transmission isn't in bad

I said these are guys are really knowledgeable! Got any pointers??? I would really appreciate it.

I have 1997 E320 .when I fully accelerate the gaz the transmission will not down shift quickly .Delay for some time in same speed and same gear with high RPM. Is that rest gonna fix the problem?

Hey. Can I ask something? I am looking to purchased a used s500 2005. The car has no transmission fluid due to a leak. The price is reasonable. Can I get your take on it? Often I read it will be the electrical connector that is leaking. I had a C280 leak from the output shaft seal. Any tips in how I can determine if the leak is worth taking a chance on?

Hi! Thanks so much for the vid. Just got a used 1997 c200 Sport and it was sluggish and idle, did your thing and it mad it much better! The only problem is when I first start off it won't shift into second for ages. Should I reset again?

I'm hoping this the only thing needed to get my trans running good again.

I have w210 E200 it shifts good put I have a problem when Am starting to slow down the I can feel the gears backing with strong hit please help

hey i was told to only put 4 quarts of transmission oil is that right? beacuse one of my friends is saying 6 which i dont think so

Does this only apply to Mercedes? Or could I try to do this with my 21 Toyota Corolla don’t wanna mess anything up

I hsve cklsse w202 2000jear 250 t. Disel its a same like dis older?

Hi thank you very much for your video!! Can I just ask whether the first 40 shifts need to be completed in Manual Transmission and manually changing each gear or in the auto D setting?

so what actually does it change? i'm wondering if i should do that to my c43 amg

Thinking about buying a 95 c220 but was told transmission needs to be reset. Do u think this will work?

doest work in 1997 E230

THanks fupabox i will try this today, i have a 2002 c320 and the battery was dead for close to a week in a half, i replaced the battery yesterday and the cars in limp mode now and shifts hard in reverse and drive also the W and S doesnt work. will this work for my issue? THANKS AGAIN

Its not the trans shifting that it learns and adjusts, its the throttle plate, which in turn affects the shift points.

What you think is this working in C36 AMG transmission, it has same transmission (722,6) but made for C36 AMG, and its 4 gears not 5

Can you help me please, I have a w211 270cdi 2004, the summer when the warmer weather changing speeds normally, but when winter comes, when first starting in the morning, while cold the first few minutes of a lot of difficult changes speeds, noisy, and feel shock when shifting gears, and after a few minutes when it warms up all ok, yet still have not tried the reset that you clearly do not know whether it would help, do you have any idea what could be the problem. Thank you ...

Excellent video, informative.

great..thanks for the hints. I was able to fix it by adjusting the cables... the only thing now is that D does not engage remaining only on 4 th speed...any hint? thank you!

$5 a gallon, we can only dream of that price in the UK, about $9.98 a gallon in here! But I think that a UK gallon is greater than a US gallon, so less of a difference, but still big enough!

Good tip...is a very similar to ECU module reset..

Hello, I own a 1996 E320 and the shift locks up when in Park position and will not move unless I manually turn a part outside the shift assy. Anyhere I can get help? I am in Brazil...Thank you.

Hello will this same method work for 2007 C230.

Thanks, worked nice on my -98 C43!

hey, I did this on my 97s320, when I pressed my foot to the gas pedal I heard some sound, I think its the gear resetting? but after more than 15 seconds I still heard that sound, I just turn the key to 1st position and wait 3 minutes. I will test it out for a drive tomorrow, I just want to ask if should I do it again and wait until the sounds stop? or just drive it tomorrow? and thanks.

do we have to press gas pedal? i dont know what troddle is

hello , I have w203 and my transmission has got this problem .When I push a little hard from 3rd to 4rth it slips .it does it occasionally when the oil in the gearbox is hot . when has not reached the temperature doesn't slip. Can you help me what to do ?

hi and thanks for the tutorial!! i got some questions.. first of all does it affect both comfort and sport modes? and if yes how do i programm each mode differently so i can have a mode for performance and a mode for fuel economy? and finally how often is it good for the car to reset it?

Hi ! Am using e class avantgrade e220 cdi w211 2004 ! My problem is the gear stays stuck only to first gear !? What should i do!? Should i reset the transmission it will sort out !? Thank you !

I’ve never needed to do this but why does EVERY Mercedes dealer, official or independant say that this is just snake oil? The ‘adaptive’ shift points are constantly ‘relearned’ by the system so why would you ever need to reset it?

Hi great info thanks. Will this work on the w202 '95 C280 series? I have changed the oil and filter. Gear changes thud a bit when cold and kick downs i have to push the peddle down hard. Also is there some type of adjuster setting on the gearbox that can help it change a little smoother. Thanks

My 722.06 trans auto of Mercedes Benz c240 2001 model year with odo 350000 km ,was got serious issue when I change trans fluid after than now there was late of shafting for 3 secound your advice due for me

Can you help me on how to reset the brake pad tear wear indicator light.I did replace the front brake pads on my 2010 GLK MB.

Does thos work on Grand Cherokee 2.7 crd 2003 model which it has mercedes transmission??

Hi am using a 208 CLK 320 its fitted with a 722.6 transmission will I be able to apply this method on my car? Thanks in advance.

I have an 02 c240 an everything works fine but i cant take the key out an it wont pass N it drives fine but cant reverse or park and the key wont come out, i know its most likely the linkage but im having a hard time locating it an fixing the problem any help would be great

Hi...I have a 1998 ML320...will this work on my truck to reset the a new electric plate?? Thanks

Thank you for another great informative video . The transmission in my 1995 SL320 works perfectly going forward while driving but doesn't want to take reverse. I can leave it in reverse and gently press the gas and the engine revs like it's in neutral and after about 20 or 30 seconds , the transmission will then begin to work in reverse. Can the issue be the conductor plate ? Also , what years of Mercedes is the transmission compatible with the 1995 SL320 ? Is the 1995 SL500 compatible and / or the 1996 , 1997 SL320 or SL500 ? Any information is greatly appreciated. Best Regards

does this work on a w202 1994 C250,I know it isn't electronic transmission but do you have any advice to make better the gear change. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, does anyone know if the shift rod has an adjustment coming off the trans. My 1999 ml 320 has some slip in reverse unless i hold the the lever up just a bit from where it sits in the gear slot ? Thanks to all.

Hi I've just reset my w202 c180 as shown now I can't put it in gear without it stalling unless I put one foot on the brake pedal and the other on the accelerator and keep the revs up then put it in gear can you help, please. rgds Derick.

reset is not working with disconnecting battery do u think carsoft reset will fix my problem? thanks fupabox

Hello would this work on clk 55 amg i changed new plate and after year this im comes with code speed sensor, but my alternator do not charrge proply i belive......is the reset would work on my Amg????

Will this work with B class? I feel little jerk between 1st and 2nd gear so maybe it can help, or it is another thing I need to do and check. Thanks

I had this problem today. When I start driving with D and when I stopped in red lights it didnt switch it to neutral there was alltime torque and cars started woble... And when i pushed the gas pedal to kickdown it was like 200D :D slow as hell and it was really wierd to drive. And same happens in R there is wierd powerful torque there should be a bit torque in R not powerful torque. Any help

Hej, I have a problem with my w203 mercedes benz c200, the problem is that my gear only stay in the first gear and don't switch to the second, would this reset help? Thank you for everything!

Hi. Great video. Just one question. After I finish with transmission reset and want to have good fuel economy, so I drive slowly for the first 40 shifts. After all that, will this effect on kick down power or the down shifts when I need those for fast accelerations? Thanks

nice nice because i floored it and i let go before it actually kicked in now its shifting early and doesn't shift at redline like it should, is this a situation you would reset?

Dude I love you ! I drove home shitting in my pants because my car was revving like a 20 year old girl having her first orgasm ! I was ready to buy a new car , until I saw your vid ! worked like a charm ! thanks bud ! and may god pay it forward and bless you with the $$$ I saved for not having to bring it to the dealer !

thanx for the upload really am greatful.

Great video!! Will I have to do this/ or would it be a good idea for me to this if I recently had my transmission rebuilt?

hello I have a 2000 e430 Mercedes Benz the roof is left open and the gear shift got wet now my transmission does not shift what should I do?

My 1998 500 SL is stuck in sleep mode. It will only accelerate to 40mph. I've tried resetting the transmission using your method. This started when I let the fuel get extremely low and it was 104 degrees out. I hope you can help. Robby

ok and if its the connectors and solenoid plates how can I get a fix on with the location if you dont mind me asking i really want to work on it this weekend

I think it worked because it changed gear later than before reseting... How long it take that my transmission learns "my" driving style ? Because sometimes it changes gears a bit wierd.

so what circumstances would you need for resetting the ecu?

Anything similar for a w202 c200 '95/96? I inherited the car from my father who was due to sell it. With 40k on the clock I thought it a bad idea to sell, we won't find anything as well kept, oil the colour of honey, always serviced at 8/10k miles, never thrashed and so on. Only problem is the auto shifts up at 2500 rpm, I want 2000 or below. It actually holds the revs at 2300/2600 before shifting, which is annoying as it's loud and I end up going 10/15 mph over the speed limit trying to get it to shift up. No idea why it's started doing this as it would shift up at 1800/2200 which was perfect for my drive style. Thanks for any input.

hey man I have 1997 s420 and every now and then the transmission gets stuck in gear I think 2nd...I take it to my mechanic and he says he reprograms the computer and its good for a while then...would this procedure work???better then me payin him everytime

Hola. tengo un c250 td y no me supera casi nunca los 120 km/h... ¿puede tener que ver con este tema? Gracias

HI, will this work on the 2007 Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes OM642 CRD and 722.6 transmission?

ssangyong rexton has the same gearbox (transmission)... any ideas if this will work on that car also?

hi, thanks for the valuable info. just quick question...:) will this method work on the 2002 E2,2CDI?thanks

I have a GL450 and it something's won't shift out of 1st gear, when this happens I turn it off and back on and the problem stops, I don't get a engine light of any kind, would appreciate any suggestions or advice on what it might be, thanks

Hey, The best info that I have noticed was on Volt daddy (just google it) Probably the most helpful info on batteries and this same thing that have found.

Is it necessary to make my shift points afterwards or can I just drive it essentially?

hi there i am Lubega Nagib , i own a C200 1996,i dont know the gear box version in there i have tried following your video but i still cant get it well i had an leakage down and my hydrolic was leaking and so i took it to be sealed or something,,

In winter , if temperature down to around f 15.. the transmission won't shift.. what is the problem ?

When I floor the gas (say to over take or get past a slow driver) it does not shift down, instead it picks up very slowly. Will this trick work? It is a 2006 CDI Elegance 7G

hey my 98 mercedes C280 it will go on drive but will stay on 1s Gear help please?
