Dextron/Mercon 3
A 1993 Mercedes 190E typically uses Mercedes-Benz ATF 722.6 transmission fluid, which is a specific type of automatic transmission fluid designed for the vehicle's transmission system. It's important to check the owner's manual for the exact specifications and to use fluids that meet the manufacturer's standards for optimal performance and longevity.
Locate transmission dipstick. The dipstick tube is the fill tube.
No, you should not use Dexron III in a Mercedes 190E transmission. Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including the 190E, typically require specific transmission fluids that meet their standards, such as Mercedes-Benz ATF 236.1 or similar specifications. Using the wrong fluid can lead to poor performance or damage to the transmission. Always refer to the owner's manual or consult a professional for the correct fluid type.
In a 1988 Mercedes 190E, the automatic transmission modulator is responsible for adjusting the transmission's shifting characteristics based on engine load and throttle position. It helps ensure smooth and timely gear changes by controlling the hydraulic pressure within the transmission. By modulating these pressures, it allows for optimal performance and efficiency, enhancing the driving experience. Issues with the modulator can lead to harsh shifting or slipping in the transmission.
Yes, you can tow a 1992 Mercedes 190E with an automatic transmission, but it's important to use the correct method to avoid damage. Flat towing (with all wheels on the ground) is not recommended for vehicles with automatic transmissions, as it can cause transmission damage. Instead, use a tow truck with a wheel lift or a trailer to transport the vehicle safely. Always consult the owner's manual for specific towing guidelines.
The dealer told me Dextron II for my 91, I used it and have had no problems.
yes, in park, at operating temperature (let it warm up for about for about 5 minutes)
It could also be your transmission or brake fluid. So you should get that checked out.
If your 1990 Mercedes 190E 2.6L automatic is not shifting into overdrive, it could be due to a few reasons. Check the transmission fluid level and condition, as low or dirty fluid can affect shifting. Additionally, inspect the throttle linkage for proper adjustment and ensure the kickdown switch is functioning correctly. If these aspects seem fine, it may be necessary to have the transmission diagnosed by a professional for internal issues.
It is not impossible but it would be a nightmare working out the electronics, and the transmission is not compatible
The At modulator valve is located on the side of the transmission between the transmission tunnel. you may have to lower transmission to get to it.
Mine has lasted 143k miles so far.........
