Hey Vandals. New sprinter owner. New forum member. Let explain my issue and I’ll include the back story in the end if you care to read it. Thanks
2004 /280k / T1N / NAG1
Received this van in this condition recently. Has a shift flair between 2nd and 3rd. Research led me to changing the conductor plate and cleaning speed sensors and valve body. To hopefully eradicate the flair. Today I drained ATF from trans and torque converter. Replaced trans filter, rubber gasket and 13pin connector and ATF fluid. Didn’t work up the nerve to remove valve body and inspect. Wish I would have just wasn’t feeling confidant as I’ve never messed this vehicle nor any transmission.
After driving everything is working as it was before. Maybe even shifting a bit smoother but still has the shift flair.
So my question is for advise on replacing conductor plate and dropping valve body. Any tips, knowledge or advise is greatly appreciated. The van runs amazing and shifts as it should in all gears but the flair doesn’t drive confidence. Is this fixiabke. Am i looking at a new transmission. How many miles can I expect in this condition. Etc etc. thanks guys.
