no. the only purpose of the filter is to filter. it should be replaced about every 20k miles. I suppose if you havent replaced it, and its completely full, it is allowing debris to pass through and get stuck in the solenoids or valve body.
Change your transmission filter and have the trans flushed.
Worn bands Dirty/burned fluid Plugged filter
I'd change the fluid and filter, but no guarantees.
What would make my transmission slip on a Dodge truck when turning left
Yes. From low fluid, plugged filter, or an internal failure.
Yes
Transmission temp sensor can cause a slip or high rpm before shifting to next gear.
Try to replace the oil filter if the transmission is not engaging when it's cold.
Your transmission might slip on your ML320 because the transmission fluid is low or because the transmission is damaged. The most common cause of transmission slip is wearing of the transmission.
1. Low transmission fluid. Check this first. 2. Old transmission fluid and clogged filter. 3. Worn clutches inside transmission.
1st step would be to change the transmission fluid and filter (if so equipped). may save you the cost of a rebuild.
Possibly low of fluid. If it is not low, then have the transmission and filter changed and see if this helps.
