Reset automatic transmission on a mercedes 

Many, many thanks for this!! My Merc wasn’t shifting down and I was fearing a big mechanics bill. Found your video and it worked like a charm. Possibly the most useful thing I’ve ever found on RU-vid! Thanks again.

Hi all, I have got a Mercedes E W211 . My car had the similar problem of not respond quickly when accelerating. I took the workshop they told me about camshaft sensor, air flow sensor, gear box oil etc, I spend a lot of money but nothing solved it. After watching this video I did the reset procedure and car looks new. Deeply grateful for the video

Thanks for this tutorial! great job with simple instructions! Ignore those bad comments. You are making a favor and people keep insulting. World need more helping people like you and less ignorants.

I thought I needed a new transmission!! Thank you for the video my e 550 coupe drives like new!! 😃I highly recommend this video if you have high RPM/ delay in shifting when accelerating!

He should read a bedtime story. Such a soothing voice.

Used this on my mother's Merc, maybe three years ago. It works a treat. Today, her Merc is doing it again, albeit a long time after. We will use it again and probably get another few years use. If you take it to the dealer, they will likely charge you big money for a new transmission computer replacement. You'll recognize this trans problem when your car starts limping or stuttering when trying to accelerate. Eventually, the car won't go in to gear and is undriveable. Don't be that person stuck in traffic.

Guys stop asking the man for every vehicle in particular ! This works on "every" 5-speed automatic mercedes transmission between 2003 - 2014.

My dad was about to scrap his car until he watched this video!! Thank you my friend for saving his car 🤣

At the beginning because of your way talking and some of the mockery comments below , I thought this is a prank video... but I tried it anyway because my Automatic transmission stuck on d , no teptronic No reverse , nothing only D!! After I tried everything came back to normal & I don’t know if this is due to your video’s instructions or because I left the car off to cool down after the transmission got stocked... and I don’t care ... I am happy it is working now and thank you so much 🙏

Best guy ever made my car more responsive

Thanks a lot, my Mercedes CLA180 2017 suddenly refused to go into reverse today, and Google lead me here... Gave it a shot, and problem solved 😇 So easy, but with great results, once again thank you so much ☺

“Kay bye” LOL

thanks a bunch. my Mercedes s class 2009 started to be jearky not shifting up or down. changed oil still the same. until one day that it stoped. a red battery warning in dash board was shown for a few days. after resetting the gearbox. no worning and the gears are so smooth. thank you again

Thank you so much! My car was so sluggish, thought it was going to be expensive. This sorted it thank you!

Thank-you. Mums merc was occasionally shutting down or wouldn't shift gears. The guys that service it says it's the solenoids in the trans. I tried this today and dad and I got it driving and shifting as it normally does. It may happen again, but at least we have this temp fix to get her rolling again. If it fixes it permanently, we know it's merely the computer, and you have literally saved us thousands of dollars. And if that's the case, that service company will never see our money again, despite their politeness and free chocolates.

Thanks. My 08 GL550 shifted really early out of 1st. Everything else was fine. I had it about a month with no change. I thought to jump online and see about rpm programming and saw your vid. Looked at others that were longer and not as clear. Went back to yours jumped in the GL and followed your instructions to the letter. When I was done I took it our for a spin and wow. Completly different. Shifts out of 1st at the proper higher range. Completly happy. Thanks...

It worked!! I’ve owned 6 Mercedes since 2009 and never knew this

Thank you!!!! My car feels so much better now! I followed video step by step and my GLA 250 is running less sluggish and jerky

thank you. this has been most successful AND I AM GRATEFUL.

Thanks a lot. Thought I was going to have to put this bit$h on Craigslist for the low 😂😂😂😂😂

I tried this on my 2000 Mercedes S-500. It worked great! Saved me a lot of time and money. Most people would automatically say you have transmission problem. Cost $6k - $7k to fix. No. Just try this first to see if It works. At least it did for me.

I can't believe this just worked on my 2006 C230 Kompressor. I just bought it 3 weeks ago. Thank you💯💪🏿

Worked great for my c300 2008, now it feels likes straight from the factory 😍

I do this reset on my 2006 Mercedes C 180 Kompressor super sport, and i have no trouble at all with the transsmission .... This really works.

Did this yesterday one my w211 -05 the transmission feels much better and before i had some jerking when engine was cold its better now plus i had an esp error and thats gone . Thanks :))

If you find you have to do this all the time first change your filter and fluid. If it still persists change the conductor plate that is mounted above the valve body in the transmission. Common problem in 722.6 and Chrysler's NAG1 transmissions is failing conductor plate.

Grate tip, just done it and everything changed. I was very close to get to a garage.

Thanks for this tutorial. Worked like a charm on my Vito W639 automatic (722.6) transmission.👌

This made a huge difference on my SLK 350 thanks. 2006.

Thank you, it works! Mine was shifting really rough, shifting late and shifting for no reason when cold. Now all fixed!

Actually this does work. I did it on my 05 E500. My steps were slightly different and while you wait during the last step you'll here a click. I was waiting for the guy in the video to say that. Once reset the transmission is crisp and to me felt like it did when I first got the car.

Thanks for this instructions. Same slow downshifting from second gear to first, after this reset shits better and at the correct rpm. Before this I checked the automatic transmission oil using the special dipstick at 80 degrees oil temp and was at max.

God your voice is so calming. X

My 2005 c230 gear got stuck since yesterday, I've been trying this method you showed in your video but it's not working. Is there any other thing I should do?

OMG!! It’s works!! I have a c240 2005 was having a hard time with the transmission that wouldn’t downshift an popped up the “engine light” right after, watched this video the engine light disappear!! Thank you so much!!

The procedure is OK but thr time is at least 5 seconds before switch off, and at least 2 minutes before open de door. Also the fuel consumption records are reset to O. After that the transmision will learn the new driving style of the driver in the area mountaines, plaines, rain, ice, etc.

Thank you for sharing this useful tip. I have just bought a B-class which is currently having a full service including gearbox oil change. I will be doing this reset procedure before it leaves the workshop so the gearbox adapts to my driving style. I also tow a caravan occasionally, I'm guessing it might be helpful do this immediately before & after towing as well?

I hope this is not a joke.. I already tried charging my iphone with a banana

Thank You Very Much, You saved me knowing a mechanic would have said would have to change my transmission. thanks once again

Thank you! I did not know this procedure and I am anxious to give it a try! Much appreciated!

Thanks for the tutorial. sorry, I have a few questions : fully step on the gas pedal to the extent of the gas or until the kickdown switch is active? Thank you in advance 🙏

this works, i went from 9 second 0-60's to 5.7

I dont have any problem with the transmission but i do the reset for curiosity. How i know it works?

i’m trying this right now as i type i’m in the CLK430(was shifting fine through 1,2,3 but wouldnt shift up to 4 or 5th gear) praying this works! i’ve heard only good things. “KAY BYE” ((i’ll update shortly with results))

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO. THAT HELPED MY ELDERLY FATHER OUT A LOT. GOD BLESS!

Could it works in mercedes c 280 year 2007? And when it is necessary to do this process? Thank you very much for your help

I just did this on my clk 55 AMAZING!!! A lot less delay in gear shifts, seems to hold 1st longer in S mode

Awesome fix, thanks. After changing a dead battery on my C350, the trans would not shift into drive or reverse. Like the others said, probably save thousands at a European shop that would have charged $$$ to do the same thing.

Will this work if my gear stick won't shift? When I turn on my engine, the gear is in park but I can't shift it to reverse or drive unless I switch the engine off, keep pumping the foot break then turn the engine back and it works.

Will this work on an A169 2006 Mercedes. My warning light says transmission, visit workshop.

My C320 auto trans. was stuck in limp mode, Check Engine light on, and wouldn't shift out of 1st. I tried this fix, and though it did shift into 2nd (but not 3rd), when I next slowed down it wouldn't budge out of 1st. If your CEL is on, this fix will not work. You gotta pull the codes and go from there. Interesting procedure though......UPDATE: I tried this again but held pedal down only FIVE seconds and waited TWO minutes after releasing pedal, and IT WORKS! It now shifts from 3rd into 4th, but CEL still on.

Does it work on a Messersmith bluem bulkow Helicopter ???, & a Opel Ascona 1989 Mod. ?????

I started feeling a clunking when my auto trans would downshift from 3-2 and from 2-1. My car is 2008 with 145,000 miles on it. It is at the point where a new transmission and the installation would cost more than the value of the car. I tried your reset method here and my 300 C Class drives smoothly with buttery like shifts up and down. Thank you! Why do I know that the Merc dealership would have tried to sell me some expensive fix for this problem?

Just bought a o7 c230 sport. I test drive it and it drove fine but later that day i drove it for lets say 50 min drive the car started acting up when i tried to give it gas it wouldnt go pass 20 and when i put it in park then back in drive kinda jump foward no check engine light has came on and it drove nice the next day ? Its an automatic

It works best video on youtube

Thanks - I will try this on my 2000 reg. C200 W202 5-speed tiptronic tomorrow - gearbox slip on acceleration, somtimes won't pull at all in reverse and I have to shift through gears then works.

Thanks a lot it worked for me to. Also my paint looks better since I did this all my scratches have vanished!

Nice easy video, the trick maybe is to go for a 10min drive and go smoothly. This works for me accross MY's 02 to 09.

Will this work on 2005 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor? My problem: When the car is started, the car stays in 1st gear and won't automatically shift When car is placed into reverse and then shift into drive, the shifter is locked in drive mode

Thanks for sharing it works perfectly on my Mercedes S400 2015

Cheers my friend, I will try this on my 06 CLS 320cdi, hopefully it works and I can save some coins!

Hi, can i make that with my B180 2007 ?

Tried this and it works for a 2004 W463.

Will this get you out of limp mode? Do I need to do this after I change the solenoids?

Will this work on 2016 Mercedes Benz c300 ??? My car is switching gears rough and it never did this before

I have a cls 350 that seems to be in limp mode but no engine light showing, trying to get it out of limp mode, any suggestions? Have been told sis connecting battery then re connecting may help...

Tengo un mercedes w203 c220 2003 y tiene un problema, solo va en primera marcha y luego se queda hacelerando como en punto muerto. Cambié el módulo de transmisión pero el problema no se ha resuelto, mi pregunta es, el modulo de transmision hay instalarlo al cambiarlo?

So you'll get sick of these questions but clk320 yr2000 & is this all that's needed when transmission slow to change down & doesn't want to kick down.

Instructions worked, thank you

I think my vehicle is in limp mode…how can I do this if there seems to be no button under my accelerator? I press it hard and nothing happens- no clicking underneath.

Hello I have an ML 350 from 2009 with start button and no key hole. What is to do in my case after pushing the gas pedal 15 sec. to change the 0 position???

Should I keep it in sports mode or comfort more when I do this?

Hello, just a kick question.This procedure works for every type of malfunction on the automatic transmission or only for software items? On the actual case, the situation is the follow; The car run only on a low gear. Looks like is on "safe mode". There is no warning signal and the gear box indicator shows the normal information and the even the transmission mode S or W does not work. Did you think that procedure can help me? By the way my car is MB C220 CDI. Many thanks in advance.

Does this work on 2002 c240 my car won't go into drive unless I hold it down in drive but don't want to do that and mess it up more .

Thank you it fixed my tranamission problems

is this working on the newer 7g tronic plus on a c250 cdi from 2012?

On a 2002 c 230 if the car refuses to go in 4 gear on a automatic transmission does it need to be reset or does it need a new automatic transmission.I checked the transmission pan and there is no signs of metal shavings.

can this solve high fuel consumption? I have w245 cdi automatic 2006, 10l / 100km which I think is high or?

Yes. Result. To everyone asking does it work on this or that car........just try it. It could even work on a Boeing 747

hi, great videos! I have a 2005 c180K and want to connect my iPhone... do you have a video on how to go about pairing it with the radio?

Will this work on a 2010 Mercedes C300 4matic?

hi I have a mercedes benz v class v280 wil this work 4 my mercedes year is 2000 plz can u reply many thanks ....

I have a 02 Benz c230 kompressor, seems to shift into drive but doesn’t say it on the dash and does not shift it stays on first gear any help on maybe this is a batttery problem cause it works sometimes

Can it work for a 2008 A 160?

its not helping to shift quicker or something if u reset youre atm it just learns again how YOU drive nothing more nothing less if you drive like a turtle the transmission will change the gear very fast if you drive fast all the time it will change the gears really late even if u push your gas 50%

Yesterday my car stopped pumping gas when putting d, had to remove battery cable for a couple of minutes for it to reset.. does it mean the gear is failing ?

Works a charm on my 2001 c200 k (w203)!

Thank you so much u helped me out a lot and help me save😘😘😘😘

Hi I have B250 -2014 couple of time when trying to do reverse, didn't go into reverse and have message ''Reversing Not Possible - Service Required" shut down and removed keys locked doors after 5 minutes message disappeared and able to reverse but it happened few times even in morning when start car to reverse did research on web, some had brand new car and it happened any advise would appreciate

Works like a charm...once every 2 months 👍

Will this work the same if car has been remaped

How do you know if it worked? I mean does it beep or flash or something? And do you really just sit there for like minutes?

Does the C class W204 have the same procedure ?

Not a jok my car was in a limp mode I did this and now is fine... Mercedes calles it relearn.. It helps with smoother shifting etc... But I can open the door

I did this reset on a A170 CDI with an automatic transmission Fail problem, where it gets stuck on one gear only (any gear, may differ) and will not work properly until the engine is turned off and wait a minute and restart, but no guarantee the problem will not repeat the next time you start the car and start driving. So I did the rest, but the engine light is still on. I guess the problem is more serious than I thought, but no one knows what the problem is. Mercedes ignored my email. We do not have a Mercedes garage or dealership within 200 to 1600 km or so.

I tried but it didn't work for me. My car still gets stuck moving between drive and reverse. It wont let me put it in reverse or park while the engine is on.

Thank you so much great job

Well ... I'm pretty sure that steps are for reset the electronic throttle body. At the same time that erase the memory of how past owners drove the car . But well if it help everyone .... let's put 1 more DO to the list.

Does it works on S CLASS ,2000 y.W220?thanks.

Im going to try this tomorrow.. I pray it works for me.
