How to adjust the transmission reverse band of benz 1996 e320

They control the shift solenoids and the receive data and transmit that information to the TCM from numerous sensors.

depends on what you mean buy bands if you mean fan belt and pulley belts you cannot there self adjusting there is a large roller wheel with a spring loaded tensioner that does this if the bands are loose either the belts have stretched or the springs in the tensioner have gone

This helped me

run fault codes to check for TCM fault. have a pressure test dine to check that the internals are working properly. Change the oil and clean out the filter and while the pan is off have the bands and clutch packs adjusted

foward and no reverse.In order for the reverse to happen there is a transmission brake assemble,the transmission band holds the brake assembly thus allowing fluid to be driven according to gear selection, when no reverse happens there is a malfunction of mechanical or hydraulic part, Depending on the condition you can adjust the kick down or adjust the band. A general procedure for automatic transmission band adjustment involves tightening the band adjusting screw to a given torque sequence, back off the adjusting screw from turning while torque-tightening the adjustment screw about a 1/4 turn and lock down the lock nut,and recheck to see if reverse has been restored.

If the trans fluid isn't low. Then check for a burnt smell...either way ur trans is going out. There are things u can do to prolong it's life. Change the fluid and filter. Come to a complete stop before changing from a drive gear to reverse or reverse to a drive gear. Hope this helps !

Service the transmission, when you have the pan off, adjust the rear band. Loosen the lock nut. Tighten the adjuster to 10 ftlbs. Loosen the adjuster 2 turns and tighten the locknut. You either have an model 500 transmission (6 cylinder engine) or model 518 (V8 engine). In both transmissions reverse is controlled exactly the same. If adjusting the band doesn't fix it, then it will need rebuilt.

the car goes in safty mode if there is an issue with the tranmission. even it there is low fluid levels, it has to be reset with a diagnostic machine prefebilly MB star

they did not install bands right needs to be rebuild bands need to be adjusted

mercedes did nothing wrong your transmission is probably blown up. no way they could put in the wrong parts they wouldn't fit. how many miles are on your trans now? did you ever do a transmission service on the transmission that mercedes says is lifetime fluid? dont do back to the dealer find an independant shop that specializes in mercedes, like the one i work for. the dealer doesnt care about its clients. Us independants honestly do care
