I just purchased a 2002 E320 with 94,000 miles. While driving it today the car would not shift into gears from 1s/2nd.. I ended up driving the car at 4000 -6000 RPMS to reach higher speeds but pretty much had to stay under 30 miles an hour to drive it because it would not shift into a higher gear at all.

There are no check engine lights, no blinking transmission/over drive lights coming up. When in park or idol the engine runs smoothly and without any jerks or RPM changes.

I just left it at a Mechanic shop but he is not a Mercedes expert but he is not a Mercedes expert and may not have all the tools to check it our properly.

 

Hello, any mechanics on this site that could help with the issue above?

 

sounds like the shift / conductor plate on top of the valve body . should have codes in ETC module need factory type scanner to check
