2009 C300 Misfire RPM Surge PROBLEM SOLVED

2009 C300 RPM Fluctuation, Grind & vibration from the rear wheel drivetrain.
For approx 30k miles I experienced what some would describe as a Misfire or a power Surgea in my 2009 Mercedes Benz C300. I made several trips between multiple dealerships and Mercedes Certified Mechanics until I was able to find the solution. Ive also looked on youtube in hopes for somebody to have this same problem which I never was able to find. So i made this video to help other people who may be frustrated with this very same ongoing problem.
What I forgot to mention in this video was the fact that this fix also got rid of a rear grind noise and vibration that i would hear and feel periodically in between almost every other few random times the car shifted gears. Although that problem begun maybe 10k miles before the misfire problem. I assumed I had a problem with my differential or transmission.
UPDATED NOTE: You will need to have the fluid changed again every 30k to 40k miles thereafter. When you notice the problem coming back all over again that is when it will be time to have it changed out. So far I have had to do this twice now and both times it has fixed my problem.

    what symptoms did you have? ive been on youtube the past month trying new things every day. I replaced the entire mass air flow sensor, all8 spark plugs, all 8 ignition coils, fuel pump and fuel sending unit, engine oil change, new air filters etc. THE ONLY THING I HAVENT DONE YET IS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND I REALLY THINK YOU JUST FOUND MY PROBLEM!!! my cars hard to start sometimes but when it does start, it starts up every time. I noticed that almost every single time i first start the car and try to go into reverse or drive, the car doesnt move. Im going to change the transmission oil and case and filter this week and i will update you asap to see if this is my problem. could you tell me every symptom you had? i have an 07 mercedes s550 but theyre all practically the same.

    Well I couldnt answer that, My honest advice would not be to change you own fluid if you dont know what type of fluid. Im not sure if your aware or not but the transmission is sealed and you need special equiptment and tools to suck the fluid out and pump them back into the transmission.... Honestly I couldnt begin to give you any advice on how to or what to use except only use genuine Mercedes fluids directly from the dealer. I wouldnt waste my time using anything else. Now after you change your fluid You will have this same problem again in about 45k miles and at that time it will be time to change your fluid AGAIN!

    at 40k miles you will strt to notice the rpm problem. in my case that meant every 50k miles after 150k i ve had to have it changed to fix the problem. Ive changed my fluid twice now. the reason for every 50k miles after your 1st initial fluid change, is because the mechanics can not fully drain your transmission, only partially which leaves a large amount of very dirty fluid behind. that mixes with your new fluid... you say you have a new transmission, it could be very likely that the mechanic whom put it in didn't fill your transmission all the way with fluid, to do that he has to hook up the obd reader and check the levels at specific heat temperature points to determine if its filled correctly since the transmission is fully sealed and doesn't come with a check stick for you and I to access! Also if you just had your transmission changed did your mechanic use all original MBZ fluids and a New Filter and Screen? I say take it to the dealer and have them check for trouble codes.

    How many miles were on the car when you changed the fluid? if over 200k then i think you need to do it again. because that would be alot of dirt and metal to mix with new fluid! it would automatically make the 1st change of fluid still very dirty. Just alot less dirty. Although it doesnt take much dirt to clog the filter and screen of the transmission. Its not like a Tahoe where you can run it 300k and never change the fluid just add some every now and then. This car is case sensitive for some of the most silliest things.

    let me tell you my symptoms because i think we have experienced the exact same thing. I have multiple misfires in 6 of the 8 cylinders and my car transmission shifts so bad and slips. Perosnally, ive been on youtube the past month trying new things every day. I replaced the entire mass air flow sensor, all8 spark plugs, all 8 ignition coils, fuel pump and fuel sending unit, engine oil change, new air filters etc. THE ONLY THING I HAVENT DONE YET IS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND I REALLY THINK YOU JUST FOUND MY PROBLEM!!! my cars hard to start sometimes but when it does start, it starts up every time. I noticed that almost every single time i first start the car and try to go into reverse or drive, the car doesnt move. Im going to change the transmission oil and case and filter this week and i will update you asap to see if this is my problem. could you tell me every symptom you had? i have an 07 mercedes s550 but theyre all practically the same.

    Well sir try replacing the coil packs and spark plugs again. My car didn't have any actual misfire codes, it just felt like it was misfiring. My transmission didn't slip like the noticeable shifting problem when your loosing a transmission and it slips into neutral. and the transmission fluid shouldn't have anything to do with an actual misfire problem. those 2 seem unrelated. You can try changing the fluid, but in your case, from what your describing to me I would only think that will worsen your problem. I am so sorry I wish i had better answers for you. Although I am still curious to know if you did change your fluid and if it improved your situation at all? i highly doubt it would change it in full, but anything's possible .

    I cant go over 50mph. My rpm’s stay below 3 and go up and down…. It feels like a vacume leak or someone said a throttle resets would do it. Idk maybe a Tran flush will do it but u said it’s irrelevant. I had a misfire before this and changed spark plugs and coils and injector and then i deleted the code and it ran fine for a day and went back to breathing for air and jumping rpm’s

    i forgot to mention if your fluid was super nasty. your going to want to drive on the new fluid about 500mi and change it again. reason being theirs a great amount of fluid that cant be drained, So you have to mix the new with the old a bit in order to get more of the filthy fluid out. The car is absolutetly case sensitive about this stuff. mine had that come bac after 10k miles on a very low low scale. i changed it again and ive had no problems its been 20k mi since

    Out of my experience, if you don’t want to waste your money, give it to the main dealer let them diagnose the problem then fix the problem because if it’s not what they say is then they are liable so in all honesty, just let the main dealer deal with it by the time you work out what’s going on you would’ve wasted more money than they want to do the job in the first place take it to main dealer. If it’s something like this in the video you will be wasting money there’s about 10 different reasons your car can act like this. I will let everybody know how I get on next week with the main dealer hopefully they fix my problem. If not, it will be at their expense.

    changing the tranny fluid on these cars is not something you can do without the proper tools. its a sealed transmission therefore it has to be sucked out and pushed back in. I believe im talking about the mercedes and not my lexus right now? Nevertheless you still have to reset the transmission ECU.
