Interesting and fingers crossed it works. We used to do this in the 90's with Saab Turbos unplugging the ecu to re-educate it's brain!
Thanks, worked a treat on my 2016 GLE 350d, perfect!
I think most auto boxes have this feature in one way or another Matt, some require a battery disconnect.
After waiting exactly 120 seconds you should hear a buzzing sound coming from the transmission. Once that buzzing stops you can proceed to driving
It will be interesting to see if this transforms the driving experience.
We used to have to do something similar years ago with Mercedes trucks as the gearbox would sometimes decide it didn't want to select gears.
June 2024, just confirming that I have just done this and my 2012 E63BiTurbo has never felt this good.
It’s used to chop down to first gear quite harsh and also did a really poor mid throttle shift into second gear which was embarrassing.
I was thinking of the worst case scenario but honestly this has hugely changed the car for me.
Mine must had picked up so bad tricks and learnt them.
Worked for my w205 2015 c220 bluetec, makes a real difference, will see in time how will work! Cheers 🦾
You forgot to wait five seconds fire the ECU to reset the TCU. That is REQUIRED for the transmission reset.
how do you do that?
Did a gearbox reset on my e class and my dads . Just done it on my 5 series bmw. Usually re learns your driving style within 40 gear changes?
Will the reset help eliminating a jolt in a specific gear shift ? Or is it only shift point reset ?
I had problem of acceleration sluggish after changing gearbox oil and gearbox filters. I tried your tips and it has settled. Tq so much for your tips
Hi Matt , I’ve got a late 2013 E220 estate and it’s quite nippy off the mark . I also get mid to late 40s in normal driving , not sure why yours seems sluggish I hope the reset helps 👍
I hope this fix works for you , no auto box can have the involvement of a good manual though.
sadly this is true
Does it works also on S63 Amg w222 with 9g tronic? Its shifting quite hard, especialy furt gears or decelerating in slower speeds, or hard accleration - when its like hard kick in transmission - normal acceleration is smooth, other are smooth, oil changed 10k ago with OEM. Thanks.
Great little instructional video Matt, hope it works for you mate.
thanks, cant hurt!
Bro, do mercedes learn driving style?? I mean if some old person driving the car will it react same way and change driving style if car obsessed that young person is driving the car.. Please reply..
Yes, but after 1000-2000KM.
@@turalhasanov8598 thanks for your reply.. Someone from mercedes told me that mercedes monitor driving pattern and work in 15 minutes
I think it’s something like 80 shifts to start learning a new pattern on these
@@furiousteabreak7892 Thanks for reply
Did you check with previous owners that they hadn't used any addative or the wrong fluid. I know my old Chryslers where extremly picky on what atf it needed. With the wrong fluid these modern gearboxes get's the wrong friction and can in turn grind down them self until they start running in limp home mode!
I dont have their details, only that it has full Mercedes main dealer history
Should i do it in my e clas 2014 220 cdi , after a long time in traffic it goes by itself in park mode sometimes it does it sometime it dont i does it only under 7 km/h should this trick fix it ??
Lovely job 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking forwards to an update!! Cheers.
Short and sweet!
TCU and TCC adaptations can only be reset with Star. This only resets the gas pedal adaptations.
That's really good info! What's the proper way to do it? What's Star?
did it work?
not driven it yet..
I have a c220 cdi amg 2.1. It’s a 2015 model. Will I be able to do this with my car? It seems to be in the wrong gear a lot. I think the gear sensor made need replacing as it’s had a check engine light on and off and has been in limp mode once. But I figured this couldn’t hurt to try. It won’t damage the car if I do it wrong wil it?
Used to own a Mitsubishi legnum, they also have active learning transmissions, they just the battery disconnecting overnight to reset. On those it takes about 500 miles after the reset for them to learn your driving style
Does this work ?
Just had a thought, what does it do if the car has multiple drivers, would one have to do this everytime one drove it?
No idea what happens there
Is it working with W213 ?
why should I do a reset, can you give me an answer anyway, thanks
Will this work on my cla 220d model 2015 ?please
I'm having a problem with the low gear shift 4-3-2-1 sometimes going from 5-4 to 2nd gear would this be solved by trying something like this?
Possibly
very similar sequence to the vw/audi dsg reset .)
Is this the same procedure for 2020 Mercedes GLS?
I think it will be
Hi.thank you for your video. I am facing an issue in the driving mode and I am confused on how to fixing it. See, when we shut the engine and stert again , the default driving mode selected is the "comfort" which gives a lighter steering wheel and thr lighter acceleration paddle, but in my car, which is 2021 E300, I feel a stiff steering g wheel and stiff acceleration paddle. Is this a gearbox issue or a mbux glith or I don't know what. Can you please help me. The driving experience is totally affected ad a result of it. Thank you
I think they always default back to comfort if turned off more than a few minutes, you might be able to change that with a code reader like Carly
You just change the dynamic select mode? Such a basic thing how can you not figure that out.
@dancoleman5865 I guess you do not understand. Even if I do that, which I already know, the motion of the steering wheel is not as smooth as how it was when I bought the car. Thanks for your reply
DOESN THIS WORK FOR C117 >>???? CLA180
Dear, does this work for GLC300e. Year 2020. Thanks.
It should work on any 9 and probably 7 speed Mercedes
Did it work or is it still the same?
a bit sharper
It works like mad 😩😩😩
Good luck Matt hope it helps.
Why does it always require some ridiculous performance of peddle pushes and button presses to reset something when the reset could easily be in system menu on the radio display under a pin code.
Think they make these procedures not easy to stop Joe Public doing themselves. I work as a mechanic and reseting service lights in some cars is horrendous unless you know the trick or get the sequence exactly spot on. Jaguars are a prime example.

If it hasn't already been done, it may be worth having the transmission drained and flushed. It may improve the way it works.
Take it to a specialist as Mercedes would probably say it doesn't need doing as it's sealed for life.
Well lets hope you teach it how to be a manual , it might even grow a stick 🤣😂
Now why wouldn’t they give us a tiny beep or click sound marking the reset.
It would have been reassuring for us and cost them next to nothing.
I did on my 2018 gtc and didn’t work !
how difficult would it be to simply add a message confirming that it has been reset... stupid mercedes
Because it doesn’t actually do anything. It’s an urban myth. The only way to reset it is by xentry.
@@danielgould9107 definitely works, you can notice the transmission being different after the reset
I just do not understand why you cannot get on with this car, Matt.
100% the gearbox
@@furiousteabreak7892 - as you have already said, if YOU aren't happy, best move onto a daily you are with.
No point procrastinating.
As a person unhappy with my sluggish engine (old Volvo diesel) I can contribute that some of my unhappiness hinges upon whether it is behaving as designed or whether it is a little poorly. If poorly I would like to make it better, whereas if this is as designed I will have a clear decision as to whether or not I can live with it.
As it is, I'm still trying to work out which of these two positions it's in and until I work that out I cannot decide whether or not I will be able to live with it.
In the mean time, at least it goes and is relatively economical.

What engine is it ?
@@paulie-Gualtieri. It's the 8 valve 1.6 diesel from 2011. (D2 DRIVe) It's just had a set of recon injectors which work fine, but have not changed its woeful throttle response. It needs a solid 2 seconds of right foot before I release the clutch. Really frustrating.
But once the turbo is turning it goes - and the economy is right - so I don't know whether to think it's poorly or just designed to be sluggish for the sake of fuel economy and dpf life.
I've had it a few years and my feeling is that it's worse than it was - the human ability to accommodate something like this means I'm just not sure whether it used to be less bad.
If this doesn't make it more enjoyable for you to drive get rid of it!!
It is just a daily, so it does not matter that much. He has many other cars to enjoy.
Will this work on 2014 cla250
will this work on a w205 Mercedes c300 2017
It should do
