One thing he forgot to mention is, after you go thru the process, you drive the car in a way that you normally would. The next 40 to 50 shift changes will be very important. If you are a fast driver, your transmission will let you go to higher rpm's before it shifts up. If you are a more conservative driver, and you want to save a little gas, drive without flooring the gas pedal, and without any hard accelerations, and your car will learn to shift up quicker and keep the rpm lower. You can reset your transmission every 6 months or so, it will not hurt anything, and might even help you with a better driving experience.

[@garyshamock1475]

Yeah good point I always thought that too? I forgot about it just watching the video kind of funny I read your comment and I was like that's right! 💡 Thanks Gary maybe you should have did the video obviously LMAO 😂🤣

[@mareksv1947]

Mine likes to rev till redline if driven fast. This might help erase 500k of history 😅

[@maxinoboy]

Hey man Can I please have your number cause I have the same problem my car doesn’t shift over 99k/h no matter how you press the gas pedal I thought it was a mechanical problem before i watch this video

[@bestdjintown]

Does it shift up one or two gears but not shift up past 2nd or 3rd gear? Correct? @@maxinoboy

It works! Easy-to-follow practical guide. Self-disabled auto-box released. Able to drive to garage to get underlying problem checked out. Delighted!

[@theoutdoorlife3036]

My 2009 C220 cdi was giving me all sorts of strangeness in Sports mode - jerking, seemingly like it was in limp mode at times, hitting a point and then revving up and down. Well, this cured it completely and I am so grateful for this video. Top work man.

[@willbok1380]

Just wanted to say this actually works! My revs are smooth and changing under 2000 rpm!! Thanks so much better MPG already

[@larrycrews6985]

I just did this last night to my ML350. My wife was stuck at gym and it definitely worked. I was able to get home. I had battery and auxiliary battery replaced last week and it still went into limp mode. Thanks for info!!

@louisvanhemert6576 it could be the conductor plate but it requires you to dismantle the gearbox

[@terrance6501]

@Anthony Gibbo my transmission on my 2009 c300 was running fine and one day I pulled out of my driveway and started driving but now it won't shift out of first now would that be the cause of the problem or is it my whole transmission the problem.

Great video made my car shift very smooth really made a difference 👌

[@machoenethupana3013]

Interesting, i have a W202 that the shift behaves like weather one day its impressive other days is sluggish and heavy will try the trick and will advise if the performance in shifting is consistent. But with my W204 , it completely lost power on open road and could not go beyond 100km/h, but i replaced low pressure fuel pump, the performance is good but not giving the kick i used to get when accellerating. Really appreaciate your guide.

[@sahkaarnold2653]

I want to thank you immensely for this, this helped me a lot because my transmission has been horrible,. I just did this and my transmission feels smoother now. But I have another problem I will need your help. My car is in limp mood right and I believe it’s caused by ABS. I am seeing the ABS light and ESP comes up each time and my cars speed will not pass 50km/h. I have an A class hatchback 2005. Thank you

[@bestdjintown]

i had the limp mode problem as well, on my 2004 ML350. Most limp mode problems are due to the conductor plate, which is i believe under the transmission. Some people change it with a new one, and some, who are more technically gifted, take it apart, clean it well, and use the same part again. Mine as well was conductor plate and cost me about $800 to get it replaced at my mechanic and never had any problem with the transmission again.
