Merci Shocki ! Great video.

At 20:37, he says that the cap adjusts the modulation pressure on a half turn only (0.2 bars). I did it, nothing better. Right now, on my car I think it is at 4.6 bars (instead of 4.4 bars).

My cap is not in a good state. Before to remove it again and to break it, I prefere to wait for my new modulation valve and its new cap.

Hi Shocki

I am always waiting for my modulation valve ...
When it will be there, I will chnage it and I will check the modulation pressure (4.4 bars).

If my problem occurs again, I will check B1 and B2 pistons, and then command valves in valve body.

Waiting for that, there are some videos from 2 to 3 gears. See RPM and sound






Have a nice day !!

Hello Fabien,

Thank you for the videos but it looks like the RPMs are not increasing during the shift from 2nd to 3rd. What normally happens with a bad vacuum modulator or low pressure, is a monetarily increase RPMs while the shift happens. It looks like your RPMs don't increase like the typical phenomenon.

Hi Shocki,

What happens ? B2 piston ?
The modulation valve is at the customs. I will have it today or tomorrow. I hope to plug it before the end of the week. We will see very soon now

What I also noticed is the huge RPM drop. I might be wrong but is it shifting into 3rd or directly into 4th?
I'll drive my car again on Friday and l'll check how it shifts.

Good question Shocki.

In level position 2, RPM increases but MPH doesn't increase.
In level position 3 and D, RPM increases but MPH doesn't increase before to shift in 3rd (or 4th).

If I remember, I feel the upshifts two times after 2nd. So I think it shifts first from 2nd to 3rd, and later from 3rd to 4th.

With the gear selector in 2 and the car stopped, it's not moving forward?

You're in 1st gear, when the selector is in 2 when stopped. You should feel a jolt when the transmission shifts into 2nd gear when you're driving.
That's why the factory decided to let the car roll off in 2nd gear normally.

Bonjour Shocki !

No jolt when I start in 2nd.
In the following video, I am in position 2 and car stopped.


BTW, the new modulation has been delivered this morning.

However, the parts from Mercedes (and Porsche) for the automatics have increased in price quite a bit.

Yes, there are "offshore" parts, which have a service life exactly like you would expect, given the price.

This is so confusing!

If the car is in drive....not in 2nd or 3rd....what happens when you drive off from a stop?

Bonjour Greg !!!

It's the same when I drive off from a stop in position D. No jolt until it shifts in 3rd around 3100 RPM after a "slipping" around 2400 RPM.

Videos taken 15 minutes ago :
