This Benz is stuck in LIMP mode and won't go faster than 30 mph! This is actually a common issue and an easy repair for these cars. In today's video I'll be replacing the transmission conductor plate on this 2000 Mercedes C230k with the 4-speed automatic 722.6 transmission. These transmissions can actually be very reliable and cheap to maintain. Even this repair really didn't cost too much.

This repair is the same for all C-Class, E-Class, M-Class, S-Class, SL-Class, & Sprinter from '97 to '14.

Please note that working on the transmission requires mechanical expertise, and it is recommended to consult a professional or refer to the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions. Nevertheless, here is a general step-by-step guide:

Note: Ensure you have the necessary tools, a replacement conductor plate compatible with your vehicle, and a clean working area before starting the procedure.

1. Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent any electrical mishaps during the process.
3. Safely raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
4. Locate the transmission conductor plate. It is situated on the top of the transmission, underneath the transmission oil pan.
5. Drain the transmission fluid. Then remove the transmission oil pan. This typically involves removing bolts around the pan's perimeter.
6. With the pan removed, locate the conductor plate. It will be attached to the valve body.
7. Disconnect the electrical connector from the conductor plate.
8. Remove the bolts securing the conductor plate to the valve body. Keep track of the location and order of the bolts, as they may vary.
9. Gently lift the old conductor plate out of the valve body.
10. Clean the valve body thoroughly to remove any debris or dirt that may have accumulated.
11. Take the new conductor plate and align it with the valve body. Ensure it is positioned correctly before proceeding.
12. Secure the new conductor plate in place by tightening the bolts according to the manufacturer's specifications. Use a torque wrench if necessary.
13. Reconnect the electrical connector to the conductor plate, ensuring it is properly seated and secured.
14. Reinstall the transmission oil pan, making sure to use a new gasket.
15. Start the car. Refill the transmission with the appropriate amount and type of transmission fluid as specified by the manufacturer.
16. Lower the vehicle from the jack stands and remove the jack.
17. Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
18. Hook up OBD Scanner to the 38-pin connector and reset the fault codes in the TCU (transmission control module)
19. Start the engine and check for any transmission-related issues or warning lights.
20. Take the vehicle for a test drive to ensure the transmission is functioning properly.
21. Check fluid level after test drive. Adjust if needed.
