Unscrew the 10 screws holding the valve body to the gearbox.When attempting to diagnose the transmission fault it is best practice to have the fault codes read from the transmission system as a first point of call, if you have fault codes stored for the internal speed sensors then this is a very good indication that you have a faulty transmission control module/conductor plate.

We can now fully rebuild your own control unit within 2-3 working days and supply an unlimited mileage lifetime warranty* The fault is caused by the TCM conductor plate breaking down internally, preventing the control module/conductor plate from monitoring the correct rotational speed of the input shaft, making it unable to determine the slippage of the torque converter, causing ineffective torque clutch lock-up that prevents a smooth gear change or in some cases prevents gear selection entirely. The fault usually starts out as intermittent but always becomes permanent if left unresolved for long enough. This is a very common fault for Mercedes vehicles fitted with the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission with gearbox code - 722.9, often causing the transmission to hold too long in one gear before aggressively forcing the next gear into place, this causes a very rough and jerky gear change.
