Hey everyone been a while but finally I have another 190e it's an F reg 2.6 auto love it already although stupidly I must have got to excited on the test drive and not realised the gear box isn't changing down the changes up are very smooth just wondered if there is a diy fix or is it time to get it in with a specialist? What ever it is I'm in love so it will get sorted haha!! Any help will be appreciated as always

Why not try oil and box filter change first, it's the cheapest and easiest way before diving in,...do you have any history of this already being done.? |

Whenever I have had any issues with my autobox shifting incorrectly it has always been sorted by checking and topping up the fluid. As it is so easy it is certainly the first port of call. |

It's not that easy. Warm it up(80C), going through all the gears, park it somewhere level, get a chamois leather, put it in park with the engine running, pull the stick, wipe it with the chamy, put it back in, pull it out again straight away. Phew, exhausting. Then if it's too low you don't really know how much to put in to avoid going over. Nightmare.
