I’m having a weird issue with my 2015 E350 where the transmission flares between 3rd and 4th gear – the revs jump up by about 500rpm before it finally engages, almost like it’s slipping for a moment. No clunks or warning lights, but it’s getting more frequent. I already did a transmission service with genuine fluid and filter at a reputable place in Dubai, but the problem didn’t go away. A mechanic friend suggested it might be the conductor plate or maybe just a software update, but he doesn’t do Mercedes gearboxes himself. I’ve been searching online and found a site where you can View More about common 7G-Tronic failures, but I’d rather get local advice. Has anyone here dealt with a similar flaring issue on a W212 or similar Mercedes in Sharjah? I’m near Industrial Area 6, so if you know a gearbox specialist that has STAR diagnostics and won’t immediately call for a full rebuild, please let me know. Trying to avoid the dealership’s crazy prices if possible.
