First of all I want to thank you for your lifesaving tip. It happened to me tonight, I'm 73 years old, can barely walk, half deaf, can see well at night (I still can drive) and I'm broke. Well, tonight while on an errant the car stop shifting gears, then the devil whispered in my ear, "you can find your answer in UA-cam and boom, there you are with this exelente video, I tried and CHEETOS it works, the tip works, so I saved the money that I don't have, the car running nice and smooth and I'm happy as a dog with two tails. Again thanks for your tip.
So you receive this beautiful help and gift....and you thank/ credit THE DEVIL?!?! My friend, please give the credit to where it truly is deserved, GOD and Jesus Christ. Furthermore, you better HOPE and pray 5hstvit wasn't really the devil that helped, because he doesn't help without 😭 requiring (and coming back to collect), an infinitely undesirable cost/ compensation.
I've had every luxury Barn on wheels including RR, Bentleys, 7series of every generation and a s65 and s63....and my 03' s600 is the finest Sedan I've ever had. W220 was the best sclass ever !
Dr math, thanks for your advice, the truth is I really thank the guy that made the video, about the devil whispered in my ear that is only a colloquial expression. About God, well at my 74 years of age I'm still debating, most sure I can tell you that I don't believe on your god, if you want to know I tell you; I believe in Spinoza's God and he doesn't make miracles or needs praying.
My heart almost dropped out of my body when my car wouldn't change gears! So grateful for UA-cam and videos like this. You know pulling into a MB dealer for repairs is automatic $200-$300. I'm saving this video.....
I have 2006 Mercedes S 500 low mileage and best of all it was given to me. Then the check engine came on and I'm thinking that nothing is for free. Followed video and it worked like a charm. Thank you for putting this out there.
One other thing about the check engine light. A bad fuel filler cap, will cause a check engine light to come on. The gas caps rubber gasket might not be sealing the filler tube so the tank wont be under pressure and cause the check engine light to come on. "If your engine light keeps coming on that is'. And if not your problem my reply is to maybe help another with the check engine light.
I had a car scare on my E320 W210. First, I stopped at a light, and when I pressed the accelerator to go, the engine revved up and seem like it was stuck in 4th gear but I limped to the nearest parking lot (no first gear ). I worked the gearshift to reverse then drive then park for a bit. Put car in drive BUT it would not switch to 2nd gear....so I was close to home luckily. Drove rest of way home in first gear. Remembered something about a transmission reset from 4 or 5 years ago. I found this blog and decided to try a reset. Hooray! It worked. Took the E320 out for a test drive, and the transmission shifted through all gears very smoothly. The reset took all of 5 minutes. If I had taken the car to the Mercedes dealership for service, I can guarantee that they would have charged probably $300.
I have to add a big thank you, I’ve been having the pre-safe stuck in third gear, so far this did the trick, I’m gonna drive it over the next few days and hope this works. Thanks again.
Thanks very much David for your video. You have solved my 2005 W211 E200K upshift issues. I thought I need to change the transmission oil since its overdue at 60000 km and I did it at 100000km. But still getting a delay upshift. So after watching your magic video. I reset it . And it FIXED> you are the best ...
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! After having to drive home at 20mph, I thought I had torn up my husband's car! LOL. I performed this relearn/reset and it worked and he is none the wiser, lol.
Thank you very much Mr. Prokity. This video was very well done and I will gladly view any other things you learn and pass on to fellow MB drivers. Have a great day and post soon!
The way I understood it was (and I may be wrong, I don't know a ton about this) but that the transmission is in adaptive learning continuously. Meaning, it is essentially "learning" all of the time anyway. It should 'adapt' to your driving habits over time. However, what this does is kind of reset that learning "data set", so to speak, which kind of accelerates the smoothing out of the transmission, opposed to waiting for it to catch up. So, it's not that the transmission stops learning at a point, it's that the input data gathered is cleared and has no further affect on your the current condition of the transmission. This is why they say that it needs a number of shifts (I've heard 40 too) because there needs to be 'some' input data to adapt to. Further recommendation would be to drive it for a little while after you reset it according to your typical driving pattern. I believe that's why you say that it gets better over time, because the data set becomes more averaged and gets closer and closer to your driving style. If your driving style changes from month to month or week to week, then resetting is where you'll notice the most difference. Anyway, that's kind of what I gathered from a non-technical background. :)
Wahooo!!! We’re back baby! This procedure worked like a charm on my 09 E350. Key words (smooth buttery shifts) Thanks! For that a video and clear directions. Really appreciate it 🙏🏽
I'm doing mine as I type this fir the first time ever. I do feel those hard shifts especially the lower bears. Hopefully this smooths it out for my 2005 S500. Love this car.
Brilliant (unknown by me) tweak that WORKS! Now, I do that monthly to my E320 and especially before days of highway driving and upon returning to local, stop-and-go driving. Thanks for sharing it.
David This video is excellent. I have a Smart forfour and after the battery drained one day and was jumped back into life, I couldn't get any drive in forward or reverse gears and had the following message on my car screen: Brake force distribution inoperative STOP The smart car is also an auto, so I tried your procedure and it wiped the message off and the car was able to start and go back into transmission. Thank you my man. D
Thank you so much. I noticed my car really running bad after getting some bad gasoline. I took it to my mechanic and he changed the plugs and coil packs. The car was still shifting rough. Did the relearn and now my car runs perfect. I was just getting on my computer to look for another car and saw your video.
Thank you. It works much better now. I have a E320 w210 and never did this proceduce in 8 years. All maintenance and oil, filter changes but never the reset or relearn procedure was done. I used the W S switch but not this relearn procedure, and now I feel like having a new car much better and smooth response. Thanks a lot!!!
I must say thank you - along with everyone else. And the post about the S500 being superior warms my heart. I'm driving one, a 2006 that has more than 300 thousand miles on it; essentially, it's maintenance free. Yes, I add oil and antifreeze when instructed to do so. I really love my Mercedes Benz S500 4Matic. Thanks again !
There we have it. Excellent, it is said that this need to be done after you change the fluid in the box. And that you need that star computer hooked up, i suspected there was another way!
I was feard when my W211 start jerking during slow acceleration... here i am and will do what you adviced.. thank you for your sharing... love from Singapore
Unfortunately, diagnostics for afar is extremally difficult. What you describe sounds like an engine problem. The easy fix could be spark plugs but an inspection before the work is done would be the best thing to do. The transmission is notorious for fluid to leak into the electrical connection and causing problems like you describe. I hope the repair turns out to be something simple like I described.
Hey guys I'm i live in England , anyway I drove to Birmingham from my destination and back 150 miles and I juddered all the way I've done what you said and bingo its reset thank you so much
Thanks for the video, this worked on my 1998 CLK320, the transmission is shifting normally again.... i didn't even know the CLK320 had an "adaptive learning" transmission, but apparently it does. Saved me a trip to the mechanic.
Works. Just bought a 2006 S350, mint shape but automatic upshifting was not smooth and was slow to shift up. Tried this simple reset and it worked great, first time. Upshifts now as it should correct timing and smooth.
Henry, Here is what I found. My starter battery was going out, this is the battery up front in, the engine compartment. Then I also load tested the battery in the back and it said it needs to be replaced due to the amperage being to low. Long story short, that tranny reset/ learn more works. My batteries being low and 1 bad caused this other issue. After replacing both, all worked fine.
I disconnected the battery on my 97 C280 only to find the sun roof sticking and not operating as it should,and the transmission was hanging on in first and second gear.After i did a reset on both everything works fine. Thank you for the info.
doing it to mine at the moment, 12:13 am CST, Chicago traffic is playing hell, sometimes I like to stomp it at the lights, but most of the miles out on the car is out on the interstates. which is where it absolutely rules...
I just did my first 900 miles toad trip with my 06 S430, I was having this exact issue. At times the shifting felt wrong, I had to stop and pull over. Turn the car off for 5 mins, then restart and it was fine again. I’m going to try to do exactly what you said and. See if that helps.
@@chiefbeef2475 my car had to be completely reprogrammed by Mercedes. The computer that controls the transmission which is under the passenger seat had water damage. So I needed a new computer and reprogramming. I spent almost 1,000.00
I have a ML 320 CDI W 164 and it has the same gear system... what surprise me is that it is true, if you stay in highway for a little while and then you go in the traffic the shifting is not matching your need... I was thinking that MB should have switch on which youselect what type of behavior you want... AUDI it does.. MB just keep the adaptive mode of the previously drive mode... quite strange... anyway... MB didn't learn nothing from the long history and I have find out that all the cars with 7G has the same problem.. .good luck to all of us
After having the the transmission lines replaced yesterday on our ML320 we noticed the rpms would not adjust down to a normal rate when driving on the freeway. The repair shop found your video post and it did the trick. A day later and it's doing the same and also dropping out of gear on road travel. We're like to shifting into 4 and 3 drive settings to slow the down when approaching stops. Should we NOT do this until the car relearns?
thank you!! I just tried with a 2001 E320 and it worked very well. After replacing the battery, my car was running in 2 gear and sometime at stop lights it was not running at all. Now it runs smooth and shifts very well. I still have an engine light on, so I am looking for a solution about it. Thanks.
My nephew jacked my mother's S430 up. It's been stuck in park for a week and 1/2 now. I watched your video and thought I would give it a try. No Bueno! It didn't work. I patiently waited and tried it again and no luck. Looks like we are going to have it towed to a mechanic, nothing else to do. I wish you were here to help.
Thank you for the confidence. This 'trick' only puts the transmission into relearn mode and sometimes that process clears out any 'confusion' that might have been involved in the shift cycle. Sorry for your trouble. I hope your nephew did not cost your mom too much money and time.
Really good advice for Cl 500- 2003...like new again, smooth changes up and down ...you saved me a lot of money and aggression... Thank you very much.... do u have any more tricks..?? Lol
Thanks. I did not know about that switch. I put a rubber floor mats in my car. I cut out a spot for the bottom of the peddle but let the rest of that area(switch) to be covered by the mat.
I find it so funny when people who think they know things about Mercedes give out false information. not this guys fault, he was given false information by someone who thought they knew something. I have never heard of this reset function. not saying it doesn't do something, but there are several incorrect terms used here. 1) the switch under the pedal is the wide open throttle switch, yes it will cause a down shift but that is only cause the engine module told the transmission to downshift. 2) the key position numbering he used is incorrect. off is key position zero, next is key position 1, turns on circuit 15R, next is key position 2 which turns on circuit 15, next is key position 3 which activates circuit 50 for the starter. also, once the key is turned off, the engine and transmission module are not communicating. once the key is in position zero, that turns off circuit 87 which is what powers the transmission, be it the 722.6 or the 722.9. once power is removed, there is no communication taking place. also, a "smooth" transmission is a transmission that will wear out faster. harsh hard shifts do not wear out an automatic transmission. a smooth shift actually wears the clutches faster cause of the slippage that has to take place. an automatic transmission is controlled slippage and the more of that taking place the less life your automatic transmission will have.
He’s actually close....key to on pos. Hold acc to the floor for 15 sec, turn key off , keep holding pedal down for 5 sec, release pedal and don’t touch anything for 5mins then remove key and it starts relearn cycle
This is a transmission reset which puts the setting back to the basic factory setting. The the feature that you are erasing is what was learned over time.
I prefer my trans to shift a little firmly, lasts longer, less slippage ... easier on it, plus, being in Chicago and doing most of my miles at high speed I crazy traffic, let's just say, she gets to stretch her legs. it's fast shifting, it's firm. your transmission will actually last longer with a firm shift is the moral of the story.
Seen a couple of other videos on the subject and everyone says that after removing the key, do NOT do anything for a few minutes - no opening doors, turning on anything - just stay put for a few minutes. Also no one has suggested to repeat the exercise every so often. Really confused now - help !!!! Can it be done even if there are no obvious signs of transmission mis-behaviour?
Thank you for your comment. Of course, this will cause no issues if you do not have shifting problems. This puts the transmission in relearn mode not reset - if there is such a thing. I think that waiting in the car is a bit much. Without MB Star to prove it, my opinion is that opening the door, getting out, and closing the door does not prevent blanking the shift history for a relearn as I am quite sure this works for me and I get out of the car all the time after performing this procedure..
I don't know why this guy say "Relearn mode" It sets the trans back to factory default like the day it drove off the manufacturing floor. So it is a reset. So...being an adaptive driving style transmission of course it will learn how it is driven.
Your video is clear and specific. Which year and model did you demonstrate this procedure on? I just bought my first MB and am going to try this after i get a couple of small items taken care of.
@@marioosa Not sure. That is a different transmission for that year model but, this is a no harm, no foul procedure if you want to try it. If it does not work then your issue will remain unchanged. If it does work then that is great.
I have the best comment ever! AAMCO recommended I have them take the tranny apart and look at 3 and 4th gear for $800!!! I asked them if they didnt find anything then what? then change the TCM another $1000. Drop the pan and drain and refill with new filter $860. So I said I will take it home and think about it. When i floored it it would go to neutral after a heavy bucking sound. Performed the reset procedure and VOILA! It went full speed so i can pass in the oncoming lane and then shifted back up to OD like normal! if you ever come to Phoenix Drinks/Dinner on me Bro!
Thank you very much for sharing your real world experience and I hope someone is helped by your experience. I will have to make a special trip to Phoenix to take you up on your offer.
Would highly suggest not executing this procedure once a month as you could actually do damage - and a lot of it ends to your transmission its control module or other various components. The reset procedure is meant to be executed after certain malfunctions have occurred not just because “the shifting isn’t buttery smooth“ Believe it or not the shifting in these vehicles is actually dictated by your foot on the Excelerator it will shift more aggressively if you are more aggressive with the gas pedal and it will shift more smoothly if you are more smooth with your acceleration - your foot going down onto the gas pedal...
Sorry, I do not know about that symptom. Could be that the clutch plates have worn out. Sometimes diagnostics is free in some shops if you just wanted to see if your looking at a repair or replacement.
Hummm ... I don't know how to help you if you don't have a down shift button a.k.a. passing gear down shift. Your mechanic might be able to help if you are having trouble looking behind the pedal yourself.
I have a 99 Mercedes S class, a 320 petrol engine. but have some problems with the automatic gearbox if I start the car and switch it to its D or R, it does it very neatly and also drives smoothly without any problem. but sometimes when I park somewhere and come back and want to put it in D it thumps and won't shift into D. then I also only see the "P" on the screen and it just won't go. then i have to drive him in his 1. then I turn it off, then on again, then off again, then on again. and then I can just switch back to his D or R. What could be the cause?
Sometimes the electrical connector to the transmission becomes corroded when water gets into the connector. This is easy to access and look at. If the connector and the pins look clean then there might be an internal issue if no one has ever messed with the shifter.
@@A_Renaissance_Man Whew! Thanks. My Mercedes has been sitting in my garage for two weeks since doing that transmission reset, and I was ready to convert the registration to non-op or sell it for parts.
My 2014 GLK250 has a box with 2 bolts underneath the gas pedal. Does this mean I don’t have the “button”, or do I need to remove this box to access it?
My apologies for not knowing the details of your vehicle. Somehow, someway your vehicle has the ability to downshift for passing. Activating the downshift while stationary is what is really going on here.
My Mercedes 2007 C230 suddenly stopped shifting from the first gear. It jerks when I engage the gear and gets stuck at the first gear without shifting. I plugged a scanner and it showed me code P2734.. Pressure control selenoid F electrical. Can this work or should I do a gear servicing?
Be sure to unplug the external electrical connector and look for any liquid. They are notorious for allowing water and oil into the connection. I do not have any advice as to where to go after that. You need to decide whether or not you need a replacement or what other options are available to you.
This function resets the learn mode and the transmission then shifts in accordance with the pattern seen. The two extremes would be little old lady and drag racer. Now, in the process of the reset to relearn some issues are corrected because, like all software, sometimes it gets off track and a reboot can take care of some issues. This is a no harm, no foul situation. Also, do not change the fluid. Only a disassembly, repair, should involve a fluid change no matter how old the fluid is.
I need to find this out also.. there are adjustments. 3 to b exact. 1 on the linkage, 2 there is a small key at the transmission that u can turn to soften or harden the shifting/torque. And 3 on the ignition pump of the diesel there is an adjustment also..not sure if gas has a similar resolution... the kick down switch can get dirty n b in an more aggressive state..clean and lubricating helps .plus at the transmission the kick down there should get the same treatment...
Take that kick down button out and you will find it's not connected to anything, so I doubt that that provides the throttle position feedback. But I get the gist of what you are saying, pedal to the metal!
Your car is in 2nd gear Safe Mode. Many things can put these transmissions in Safe Mode. About the only thing an owner can do is disconnect the plug and make sure no fluid is present. Looks like a trip to the shop and don't expect any good news.
Can you please shed light on why I can move gear shift into all positions on my 2003 ML 500 but it don't actually go into the rear . I did have coils plugs and wires done and battery was disengaged , do you know how to make it come out of manual overdrive or is that even the problem???
There could be any number of reasons the car does not go into gear. Could be electrical, mechanical, or just end of life as 2003 makes the car close to 20 years old and that is a very long time for the transmission. Only a reliable shop can help you with that issue.
@@john8451 Yes it is... 1. Get in and shut the door 2. Turn key to position 2 (right before the start position) DO NOT START THE CAR 3. Press the gas pedal to the floor... past the kick down point... 4. Hold the pedal there for 15 seconds 5. After 15 seconds while foot still planted, turn the key off but do not remove it 6. Release gas pedal. 7. Wait at least 2 minutes while not touching anything in the car, don't open the door even. 8. After the 2 minutes start the car and drive off normally... you should notice a difference in the shift pattern and smoothness.
Should I still get the transmission service? This “lifetime” fluid is getting old. I’d have more peace of mind just knowing the levels are right but some places are declining this service because they claim it is a lifetime fluid and service will do more harm than good
The last time I changed fluid was 25 years ago in 1997. The fluid is not subjected to the kind of heat that plagued them in the past. Usually fluid is not able to be filled as the fill cap is sealed off or otherwise discouraged. Typically fluid is only filled, or topped off after a minor repair and a transmission swap, the current practice, already has the fill done at the factory. I don't want to discourage you but finding a repitubal shop is also an issue you will have to deal with. If you find a good shop, see what they say. Good Luck and Safe driving.
The speed sensors are located at each wheel and give feed back to prevent wheel lock during braking. It has been a long time but I am not sure that the transmission has a speed gear for input to the odometer as that input should be all electronic and feed unto the (ECU) computer along with the (ABS) sensors input for stability control.
@@A_Renaissance_Man Thanks David, since my last inquiry, I know now that my issue isn’t a “speed sensor” like someone on UA-cam stated. I searched forever it seemed liked and got nowhere! So since I had one prepaid service left on my car, I had spoken to my service rep at a local MZB dealer I wanted to get it done and I asked him if he knew what a speed sensor was and he didn’t, but I should get the car in to check out the problem! After having it towed, I started looking for local independent MZB repair shops. I found out it’s one of two sensors on the transmission not on a wheel. It’s like what you mentioned, an electronic signal that controls the shifting from my steering wheel! I called a few repair shops before one of them told me (who will now get my future business) and one Dickhead told me it was the transmission, I was kinda shocked that he would think my GL450 with 60,000 miles would have that kind of a problem.I told him that I would think it was something more electronic than mechanical. Then he was a smart ass and said okay, it’s something electronic! I just said thanks and hung up. Now I hope Mercedes-Benz is as honest!! After the car arrived the service rep called me to let me know and that they were backed up and it wouldn’t be looked until Monday! Then he added since it’s out of warranty there’s a $200.00 “diagnostic” charge! I told him what my “diagnosis” was and he can check that! Well, of course you know the answer, they still must do their “diagnostics”! Now, I really regret not towing it to the local shop I spoke with. There would be no “diagnostic” charge, like any other establishment they would do, tell me the problem and give me the price for the repair! I’ve never gone back to a dealer before for repairs on either of my Mercedes or BMW’s in the past because of their exorbitant high costs of service and repairs! Now I’m sure I’ll regret having big towed there first!!
I took my S55 AMG 06 to the dealer cause of a parasitic drain on the battery. They said door looks seal leak and PSE pump was working over time. I replaced the pump before in Germany about 2016-2017, since getting it back my check engine light came on the next day and my PS.CP MP for trans indicator is blank and I can only shift to drive and it wont go to N, or Park unless I turn off the car. Please help tell me whats wrong
I only go to the dealer for warranty work. There are good shops out there it is just a matter of finding them. Someone will have to hook up to the car and read the codes. Codes are clues and not necessarily a diagnostic answer to the problem.
I just change the value body in February this year and now I am experiencing my 08, clk350 benz straining to move in gear. is anyone had or having this problem, I will appreciate your assistance? thanks,
I am no longer 100% sure of who I called and talked to but, I think, and again I am not 100% sure I called European Autowerks in Temecula, CA. Also note that was 8 years ago so there might be a complete change in personnel from then until now. Good Luck and I hope they can help you. Transmissions are a Beast and Mercedes is the King of Complication.
I do not know. I would check the owner's manual and see if there is a "learn" mode. Otherwise I would say no but, this is something you can try without consequences if the procedure does not work.
Dave my 2003 e320 gear shift is sized ..i think because of a SBC or brake switch..but looking for the reset button in the center console space ..I can't seem to find the hole to push a pen to reset and unlock..where is the access hole..thanks ..John

Further recommendation would be to drive it for a little while after you reset it according to your typical driving pattern. I believe that's why you say that it gets better over time, because the data set becomes more averaged and gets closer and closer to your driving style. If your driving style changes from month to month or week to week, then resetting is where you'll notice the most difference. Anyway, that's kind of what I gathered from a non-technical background. :)
Wahooo!!! We’re back baby! This procedure worked like a charm on my 09 E350. Key words (smooth buttery shifts)
Thanks! For that a video and clear directions. Really appreciate it 🙏🏽
It is still relevant in this present time even for the current model, even for E53 AMG.
Kudos. Just did mine. Excellent. Brilliant.
Thank you for taking the time to share your input so others will know they can perform this procedure on current models.
I'm doing mine as I type this fir the first time ever. I do feel those hard shifts especially the lower bears. Hopefully this smooths it out for my 2005 S500. Love this car.
Brilliant (unknown by me) tweak that WORKS! Now, I do that monthly to my E320 and especially before days of highway driving and upon returning to local, stop-and-go driving. Thanks for sharing it.
David
This video is excellent.
I have a Smart forfour and after the battery drained one day and was jumped back into life, I couldn't get any drive in forward or reverse gears and had the following message on my car screen:
Brake force distribution inoperative STOP
The smart car is also an auto, so I tried your procedure and it wiped the message off and the car was able to start and go back into transmission.
Thank you my man.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience so that others can be helped too.
Thank you so much. I noticed my car really running bad after getting some bad gasoline. I took it to my mechanic and he changed the plugs and coil packs. The car was still shifting rough. Did the relearn and now my car runs perfect. I was just getting on my computer to look for another car and saw your video.
Thank you. It works much better now. I have a E320 w210 and never did this proceduce in 8 years. All maintenance and oil, filter changes but never the reset or relearn procedure was done. I used the W S switch but not this relearn procedure, and now I feel like having a new car much better and smooth response. Thanks a lot!!!
What is the ws switch?
@@s999geo Winter/summer mode, winter mode will shift slower and will never shift to 1st unless the kickdown switch is pressed.
Thanks for the tutorial, I did it to my W211 and it was like driving a different car afterwards - BRILLIANT!
Your Welcome, Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I must say thank you - along with everyone else. And the post about the S500 being superior warms my heart. I'm driving one, a 2006 that has more than 300 thousand miles on it; essentially, it's maintenance free. Yes, I add oil and antifreeze when instructed to do so. I really love my Mercedes Benz S500 4Matic.
Thanks again !
Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great comment. May I wish you many safe miles on the road ahead.
Yes sure , good video. As a Benz owner it's important to know all these tips. Thanks
I need a transmission oil change video for 2006 s500 mb would really help
Thank you very much for sharing. I did this on my W211 and it improved the drive drastically.
There we have it. Excellent, it is said that this need to be done after you change the fluid in the box. And that you need that star computer hooked up, i suspected there was another way!
I was feard when my W211 start jerking during slow acceleration... here i am and will do what you adviced.. thank you for your sharing... love from Singapore
Unfortunately, diagnostics for afar is extremally difficult.
What you describe sounds like an engine problem.
The easy fix could be spark plugs but an inspection before the work is done would be the best thing to do.
The transmission is notorious for fluid to leak into the electrical connection and causing problems like you describe.
I hope the repair turns out to be something simple like I described.
Thank you! Was so confused with the check engine light when there wasn't a limp mode situation going on
Hey guys I'm i live in England , anyway I drove to Birmingham from my destination and back 150 miles and I juddered all the way I've done what you said and bingo its reset thank you so much
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your input.
Thanks for the video, this worked on my 1998 CLK320, the transmission is shifting normally again.... i didn't even know the CLK320 had an "adaptive learning" transmission, but apparently it does. Saved me a trip to the mechanic.
Works. Just bought a 2006 S350, mint shape but automatic upshifting was not smooth and was slow to shift up. Tried this simple reset and it worked great, first time. Upshifts now as it should correct timing and smooth.
Thanks mate. This really helpful. I found one vid exactly like yours but he said press down the BRAKE for 15sec. and 200% that's insane
Your welcome. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment
@@A_Renaissance_Man Not a problem 👍
Henry,
Here is what I found. My starter battery was going out, this is the battery up front in, the engine compartment. Then I also load tested the battery in the back and it said it needs to be replaced due to the amperage being to low. Long story short, that tranny reset/ learn more works. My batteries being low and 1 bad caused this other issue. After replacing both, all worked fine.
Not yet on deck for a W220 but, your vids on them are a good source of info. Kudos!
I disconnected the battery on my 97 C280 only to find the sun roof sticking and not operating as it should,and the transmission was hanging on in first and second gear.After i did a reset on both everything works fine. Thank you for the info.
greg alexander. My c240 (2007) holds in first for way too long every morning. I'm going to try this reset and see what happens.
I love it. Yes it did and works great now. Thank you.
I love it let us know the outcome.
I love it. It definitely works for both of us then.
I love it. The power of the internet especially UA-cam.
omg ty!
just bought a slk, and was shifting crazy, fixed. again ty.
What year?
This really worked on my 2001 s500 thanks for the awesome video probably saved me alot of money 👍
Thanks very much for this video, it worked on my e55 amg..
Thankyou very much David Prokity Sir! will try on my w221 S550, kind regards

I never feel mine shift at all... so smoooooth!!
Arizona Sky hi so did try the reset
doing it to mine at the moment, 12:13 am CST, Chicago traffic is playing hell, sometimes I like to stomp it at the lights, but most of the miles out on the car is out on the interstates. which is where it absolutely rules...
Thank you so much!!! My wife’s 2003 C230 Kompressor Coupé Rides so smooth!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I do appreciate that.
David Prokity No worries! Your Video helped me a lot!
Also, that would be the "kick down switch" at the bottom of the gas pedal.
Thanks a lot for the video.
I have 99 c230( w202) and it’s not downshifting and upshifting much much better .
I just did my first 900 miles toad trip with my 06 S430, I was having this exact issue. At times the shifting felt wrong, I had to stop and pull over. Turn the car off for 5 mins, then restart and it was fine again. I’m going to try to do exactly what you said and. See if that helps.
I have this problem. Did it work for you?
Actually no. I had the car serviced and found out I needed to replace the conductor plate and the tcm computer.
@@carsgolfcigars how much did that costs my car goes into limp mode where it gets stuck in a gear and I have to restart it
@@chiefbeef2475 my car had to be completely reprogrammed by Mercedes. The computer that controls the transmission which is under the passenger seat had water damage. So I needed a new computer and reprogramming. I spent almost 1,000.00
Mine doesn't shift hard.. However good info far as once a month routine .. I didn't know that ... Ty
Buttery smooth!, got it!
I have a ML 320 CDI W 164 and it has the same gear system... what surprise me is that it is true, if you stay in highway for a little while and then you go in the traffic the shifting is not matching your need... I was thinking that MB should have switch on which youselect what type of behavior you want... AUDI it does.. MB just keep the adaptive mode of the previously drive mode... quite strange... anyway... MB didn't learn nothing from the long history and I have find out that all the cars with 7G has the same problem.. .good luck to all of us
I did it yayyy.thx
Your Welcome, I am Glad this helped you.
After having the the transmission lines replaced yesterday on our ML320 we noticed the rpms would not adjust down to a normal rate when driving on the freeway. The repair shop found your video post and it did the trick. A day later and it's doing the same and also dropping out of gear on road travel. We're like to shifting into 4 and 3 drive settings to slow the down when approaching stops. Should we NOT do this until the car relearns?
Thanks for your advice.And now I feel my 306hp.Thanks
worked for me today. Car wouldn’t start after battery was unplugged. This fixed it. Thanks.
thank you!! I just tried with a 2001 E320 and it worked very well. After replacing the battery, my car was running in 2 gear and sometime at stop lights it was not running at all. Now it runs smooth and shifts very well. I still have an engine light on, so I am looking for a solution about it. Thanks.
My nephew jacked my mother's S430 up. It's been stuck in park for a week and 1/2 now. I watched your video and thought I would give it a try. No Bueno! It didn't work. I patiently waited and tried it again and no luck. Looks like we are going to have it towed to a mechanic, nothing else to do. I wish you were here to help.
Thank you for the confidence. This 'trick' only puts the transmission into relearn mode and sometimes that process clears out any 'confusion' that might have been involved in the shift cycle. Sorry for your trouble. I hope your nephew did not cost your mom too much money and time.
@@A_Renaissance_Man Oh! I know he did. He saw a video using the sledgehammer trick. No telling what he messed up.
Really good advice for Cl 500- 2003...like new again, smooth changes up and down ...you saved me a lot of money and aggression... Thank you very much.... do u have any more tricks..?? Lol
Thanks. I did not know about that switch. I put a rubber floor mats in my car. I cut out a spot for the bottom of the peddle but let the rest of that area(switch) to be covered by the mat.
Great tip thank you will this work the same if car has been remapped?
Yes the engine computer is seperate from the transmission computer.
Thank you 🤗👍
Buttery smooth Mercedes’ transmission yea that will be the day
Excellent
I find it so funny when people who think they know things about Mercedes give out false information. not this guys fault, he was given false information by someone who thought they knew something. I have never heard of this reset function. not saying it doesn't do something, but there are several incorrect terms used here. 1) the switch under the pedal is the wide open throttle switch, yes it will cause a down shift but that is only cause the engine module told the transmission to downshift. 2) the key position numbering he used is incorrect. off is key position zero, next is key position 1, turns on circuit 15R, next is key position 2 which turns on circuit 15, next is key position 3 which activates circuit 50 for the starter. also, once the key is turned off, the engine and transmission module are not communicating. once the key is in position zero, that turns off circuit 87 which is what powers the transmission, be it the 722.6 or the 722.9. once power is removed, there is no communication taking place. also, a "smooth" transmission is a transmission that will wear out faster. harsh hard shifts do not wear out an automatic transmission. a smooth shift actually wears the clutches faster cause of the slippage that has to take place. an automatic transmission is controlled slippage and the more of that taking place the less life your automatic transmission will have.
He’s actually close....key to on pos. Hold acc to the floor for 15 sec, turn key off , keep holding pedal down for 5 sec, release pedal and don’t touch anything for 5mins then remove key and it starts relearn cycle
Well, thank you, professor!
So how do I reset my transmission...
Hey David, I have 2010 CLS 350. Is it safe to do ? Hope no side effect 😀
This is a transmission reset which puts the setting back to the basic factory setting. The the feature that you are erasing is what was learned over time.
I prefer my trans to shift a little firmly, lasts longer, less slippage ... easier on it, plus, being in Chicago and doing most of my miles at high speed I crazy traffic, let's just say, she gets to stretch her legs. it's fast shifting, it's firm. your transmission will actually last longer with a firm shift is the moral of the story.
fadingbeleifs
Seen a couple of other videos on the subject and everyone says that after removing the key, do NOT do anything for a few minutes - no opening doors, turning on anything - just stay put for a few minutes. Also no one has suggested to repeat the exercise every so often. Really confused now - help !!!!
Can it be done even if there are no obvious signs of transmission mis-behaviour?
Thank you for your comment. Of course, this will cause no issues if you do not have shifting problems. This puts the transmission in relearn mode not reset - if there is such a thing. I think that waiting in the car is a bit much. Without MB Star to prove it, my opinion is that opening the door, getting out, and closing the door does not prevent blanking the shift history for a relearn as I am quite sure this works for me and I get out of the car all the time after performing this procedure..
I don't know why this guy say "Relearn mode" It sets the trans back to factory default like the day it drove off the manufacturing floor. So it is a reset. So...being an adaptive driving style transmission of course it will learn how it is driven.
Your video is clear and specific. Which year and model did you demonstrate this procedure on?
I just bought my first MB and am going to try this after i get a couple of small items taken care of.
2006 S430. Thank you for asking.

I have the best comment ever! AAMCO recommended I have them take the tranny apart and look at 3 and 4th gear for $800!!! I asked them if they didnt find anything then what? then change the TCM another $1000. Drop the pan and drain and refill with new filter $860. So I said I will take it home and think about it. When i floored it it would go to neutral after a heavy bucking sound. Performed the reset procedure and VOILA! It went full speed so i can pass in the oncoming lane and then shifted back up to OD like normal! if you ever come to Phoenix Drinks/Dinner on me Bro!
Thank you very much for sharing your real world experience and I hope someone is helped by your experience. I will have to make a special trip to Phoenix to take you up on your offer.
My 2010 c300 4matic doesn,t have the button,on the accelerator pedal. I s there a way to do it w/o the switch ?
Hopefully someone can help you as I am unfamiliar with the transmission in your vehicle, sorry.
Older Mercedes transmissions are not meant to shift smooth. If you don’t feel a slight kick during shifts, your transmission can burn up.
Even a 06 with 70k miles?
@@jeffreyjordan9497 if the Mercedes transmission has a vacuum modulator for shifting, then yes.
Thank you for sharing the info i will try this today . 👍
So helpful! Thanks a lot 🙏
Your welcome.
Would highly suggest not executing this procedure once a month as you could actually do damage - and a lot of it ends to your transmission its control module or other various components. The reset procedure is meant to be executed after certain malfunctions have occurred not just because “the shifting isn’t buttery smooth“ Believe it or not the shifting in these vehicles is actually dictated by your foot on the Excelerator it will shift more aggressively if you are more aggressive with the gas pedal and it will shift more smoothly if you are more smooth with your acceleration - your foot going down onto the gas pedal...
Question: What if after shifting the hand gear the transmission doesn't go in gear then what do we do?
Sorry, I do not know about that symptom. Could be that the clutch plates have worn out. Sometimes diagnostics is free in some shops if you just wanted to see if your looking at a repair or replacement.
Ypu have helped me immensely and saved me money.
Thanks David!!!! It worked.
Excellent!

Hummm ... I don't know how to help you if you don't have a down shift button a.k.a. passing gear down shift.
Your mechanic might be able to help if you are having trouble looking behind the pedal yourself.
Mine doesn’t have it either. :(. 2004 ML 350 4 Matic SUV
I have a 99 Mercedes S class, a 320 petrol engine. but have some problems with the automatic gearbox if I start the car and switch it to its D or R, it does it very neatly and also drives smoothly without any problem. but sometimes when I park somewhere and come back and want to put it in D it thumps and won't shift into D. then I also only see the "P" on the screen and it just won't go. then i have to drive him in his 1. then I turn it off, then on again, then off again, then on again. and then I can just switch back to his D or R. What could be the cause?
Sometimes the electrical connector to the transmission becomes corroded when water gets into the connector. This is easy to access and look at. If the connector and the pins look clean then there might be an internal issue if no one has ever messed with the shifter.
What is supposed to happen at the end of the two minutes? Am I supposed to start the engine?
At the end of two minutes, the reset is complete and you can start the engine and drive.
@@A_Renaissance_Man Whew! Thanks. My Mercedes has been sitting in my garage for two weeks since doing that transmission reset, and I was ready to convert the registration to non-op or sell it for parts.
@@TomBleecker Yes, I know what you mean. You still might consider that, haha.
My 2014 GLK250 has a box with 2 bolts underneath the gas pedal. Does this mean I don’t have the “button”, or do I need to remove this box to access it?
My apologies for not knowing the details of your vehicle. Somehow, someway your vehicle has the ability to downshift for passing. Activating the downshift while stationary is what is really going on here.
My Mercedes 2007 C230 suddenly stopped shifting from the first gear. It jerks when I engage the gear and gets stuck at the first gear without shifting.
I plugged a scanner and it showed me code P2734.. Pressure control selenoid F electrical. Can this work or should I do a gear servicing?
Be sure to unplug the external electrical connector and look for any liquid. They are notorious for allowing water and oil into the connection.
I do not have any advice as to where to go after that. You need to decide whether or not you need a replacement or what other options are available to you.
I did it on a s550 2008 and worked good. Thanks!
Tryin now thank you 🙏
Huge difference on my w215! Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to tell others that this worked on a W215.
Thank you very much David , I rest the gear on my s class 2003 drive nice and smoothly now
Good man thank you very much!!!
Will this somehow fix hard shifting and sudden downshifts (rarely)? And if not it won't cause any harm
This function resets the learn mode and the transmission then shifts in accordance with the pattern seen. The two extremes would be little old lady and drag racer. Now, in the process of the reset to relearn some issues are corrected because, like all software, sometimes it gets off track and a reboot can take care of some issues. This is a no harm, no foul situation. Also, do not change the fluid. Only a disassembly, repair, should involve a fluid change no matter how old the fluid is.
@@A_Renaissance_Man thank you so much appreciated! And best of luck with your channel, subscribed👍
I wonder if that is most likely your Conductor Plate... Which if so you'll have to replace due to the input rpm sensor having issues
Can this be done on a 95 w140?
I need to find this out also.. there are adjustments. 3 to b exact. 1 on the linkage, 2 there is a small key at the transmission that u can turn to soften or harden the shifting/torque. And 3 on the ignition pump of the diesel there is an adjustment also..not sure if gas has a similar resolution... the kick down switch can get dirty n b in an more aggressive state..clean and lubricating helps .plus at the transmission the kick down there should get the same treatment...
My car acts like it goes to neutral sometimes, shut it off for a bit and it will go for a while. Will this procedure help?
,
This procedure sets the transmisdion into relearn mode. The procedure is also one that will not cause any problems if it does not work.
Take that kick down button out and you will find it's not connected to anything, so I doubt that that provides the throttle position feedback. But I get the gist of what you are saying, pedal to the metal!
I have s320 w220 2005 and this worked for me too
I have a 07 s550 and it won’t go pack 25-30 mph without it going past 3000 rpm
Your car is in 2nd gear Safe Mode.
Many things can put these transmissions in Safe Mode. About the only thing an owner can do is disconnect the plug and make sure no fluid is present. Looks like a trip to the shop and don't expect any good news.
Can you please shed light on why I can move gear shift into all positions on my 2003 ML 500 but it don't actually go into the rear . I did have coils plugs and wires done and battery was disengaged , do you know how to make it come out of manual overdrive or is that even the problem???
There could be any number of reasons the car does not go into gear. Could be electrical, mechanical, or just end of life as 2003 makes the car close to 20 years old and that is a very long time for the transmission. Only a reliable shop can help you with that issue.

This is also in the owners manual...
Thank you. ;-)
please advise which part of the owner manual
No it’s not.
@@john8451 Yes it is...
1. Get in and shut the door
2. Turn key to position 2 (right before the start position) DO NOT START THE CAR
3. Press the gas pedal to the floor... past the kick down point...
4. Hold the pedal there for 15 seconds
5. After 15 seconds while foot still planted, turn the key off but do not remove it
6. Release gas pedal.
7. Wait at least 2 minutes while not touching anything in the car, don't open the door even.
8. After the 2 minutes start the car and drive off normally... you should notice a difference in the shift pattern and smoothness.
Should I still get the transmission service? This “lifetime” fluid is getting old. I’d have more peace of mind just knowing the levels are right but some places are declining this service because they claim it is a lifetime fluid and service will do more harm than good
The last time I changed fluid was 25 years ago in 1997. The fluid is not subjected to the kind of heat that plagued them in the past. Usually fluid is not able to be filled as the fill cap is sealed off or otherwise discouraged. Typically fluid is only filled, or topped off after a minor repair and a transmission swap, the current practice, already has the fill done at the factory. I don't want to discourage you but finding a repitubal shop is also an issue you will have to deal with. If you find a good shop, see what they say. Good Luck and Safe driving.
Does this get the vehicle out of “limp” mode?
Not that I know of. You can try it. No harm no foul.
Thanks for the reply, David…still working on it.
Now that I know what the issue is with the "Speed Sensor" I'd like to find out where it is and what I can expect to be charged at the dealer. Thx
The speed sensors are located at each wheel and give feed back to prevent wheel lock during braking. It has been a long time but I am not sure that the transmission has a speed gear for input to the odometer as that input should be all electronic and feed unto the (ECU) computer along with the (ABS) sensors input for stability control.
@@A_Renaissance_Man
Thanks David, since my last inquiry, I know now that my issue isn’t a “speed sensor” like someone on UA-cam stated. I searched forever it seemed liked and got nowhere!
So since I had one prepaid service left on my car, I had spoken to my service rep at a local MZB dealer I wanted to get it done and I asked him if he knew what a speed sensor was and he didn’t, but I should get the car in to check out the problem!
After having it towed, I started looking for local independent MZB repair shops. I found out it’s one of two sensors on the transmission not on a wheel. It’s like what you mentioned, an electronic signal that controls the shifting from my steering wheel!
I called a few repair shops before one of them told me (who will now get my future business) and one Dickhead told me it was the transmission, I was kinda shocked that he would think my GL450 with 60,000 miles would have that kind of a problem.I told him that I would think it was something more electronic than mechanical. Then he was a smart ass and said okay, it’s something electronic! I just said thanks and hung up. Now I hope Mercedes-Benz is as honest!!
After the car arrived the service rep called me to let me know and that they were backed up and it wouldn’t be looked until Monday! Then he added since it’s out of warranty there’s a $200.00 “diagnostic” charge! I told him what my “diagnosis” was and he can check that! Well, of course you know the answer, they still must do their “diagnostics”!
Now, I really regret not towing it to the local shop I spoke with. There would be no “diagnostic” charge, like any other establishment they would do, tell me the problem and give me the price for the repair!
I’ve never gone back to a dealer before for repairs on either of my Mercedes or BMW’s in the past because of their exorbitant high costs of service and repairs! Now I’m sure I’ll regret having big towed there first!!
I took my S55 AMG 06 to the dealer cause of a parasitic drain on the battery. They said door looks seal leak and PSE pump was working over time. I replaced the pump before in Germany about 2016-2017, since getting it back my check engine light came on the next day and my PS.CP MP for trans indicator is blank and I can only shift to drive and it wont go to N, or Park unless I turn off the car. Please help tell me whats wrong
I only go to the dealer for warranty work. There are good shops out there it is just a matter of finding them. Someone will have to hook up to the car and read the codes. Codes are clues and not necessarily a diagnostic answer to the problem.
I just change the value body in February this year and now I am experiencing my 08, clk350 benz straining to move in gear. is anyone had or having this problem, I will appreciate your assistance? thanks,
