Completely transformed my wife's Mercedes A200D. It is like driving a different car. Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks for the help my guy. Still helping us in 2023.

Omg I had to come back to find this video!! I noticed my car was driving slower, more "sluggish". I even told this new Mercedes mechanic (I recently moved to a new city) who asked if I had my spark plugs changed. Replying yes, they asked if it helped & we both said not really. They said nothing else afterwards. I bet they know of this trick and was going to charge me a ton. I did these steps some days ago but this morning while driving to work I felt it! It worked!! My baby is back! 🤗 THANK YOU!

100% worked for my c250 it felt really slow and even went to the dealership to get a quote on the fix they said about 900-1000 went on KZread and saved over 900$ thank you for this video

Been driving an A250 for a few months thinking definitely something wrong with the gearbox. Just carried out the procedure, feels much better! Thanks.

I think they may have misinterpreted what you were asking for, no way they would have charged you $1000 to do what's in this video. They could have thought you wanted the transmission adaption that they do (not sure exactly what they call it), it's kind of like a tune for the transmission. They change the clamping pressures of the clutches etc which is a lot more involved. I got it done to my A45 for free by Mecedes when the transmission was getting a fault fixed under warranty and it made a huge difference to how quick / snappy the transmission felt.

Just want to said thank you so much for the video you don’t realise how much you have helped me I bought the car a couple of weeks ago so cheap I think the guy thought it was a big problem because it was so slow I followed your video now my car absolutely flies happy days 👍

My glc 2018 had so bad acceleration and dynamic that I booked service at Dealer after this reset car got back speed, acceleration, dynamic so THANK You for that tip 👏 ❤

Can't believe this worked! Thanks very much. Worked like a dream on my CLA. :-)

​@@swiift2k538 The main problem to look out for is the transmissions output shaft with the pre facelift models (2015 and earlier). You will hear a crunch when putting the car in reverse on a cold start. Had it happen to my car, thank god it was under warranty at the time because it wasn't cheap to fix. Otherwise the car is pretty reliable. If you plan on tuning it though, expect to have to replace the turbo at some point. If you are just talking about this reset only, yes it works and you should probably do it every month to keep the transmission feeling snappy. If you want to make it even better take it to mercedes or a tuner for reconfigeration which makes the transmission feel like it should have from factory, it completely transformed my car.

Thanks so much for this , was about to have our engine pulled apart because our Mercedes was soooooo slow . Mechanic couldn’t find anything. Followed this video and she is off and racing again 😆

I think the concept of adaptive transmissions is pretty cool. I had no idea such a thing existed and discovered it by accident. I think I'm gonna try doing this with mine later today and see if a reset works. I've got a 2002 C320 with 97,000 kms so I expect I should be getting a nice ride out of it.

Significatively changed the behavior of my 2nd hand A250 (W177/2019 / 49'000km) Thank you very much !!!!!! The first 3 gears were very brutal and now they are smooth like butter and the braking too 😋👍 I can feel the difference in the reactivity as well 😁

My A250 has stage 1. Will this reset my Ecu too or erase my stage 1 map?

Nice video! Thank you! :) Most of the time i use my W176 (A200) in ECO mode in the city and Comfort mode in the highways. After the restart, when should i change between the modes to relearn both ?

Thank you for the vedio I watched it and it was helpful. However, I have another problem and I'm wondering if you came across it before. Basically on my 2013 B Class deisel auto, every time I select drive the gear jumps to park. I'd be greatful if you could share your experience. Many thanks

Can you tell me more wich problems you had with the transmission? I have also a Cla 220 and in traffic the car doesn’t change good anymore, and I can’t change to sport modus or manual. When I arrived home next day it’s good again. Is this one of the symptoms?

Do you maybe know how do the same thing on Opel Astra J 2012(Vauxhall)? Is it possible to turn off automatic transmition adaptation (learning)?

Does this work for the 5 speed gearbox on the 2010 W204 C220 CDI?

Wow this really worked I have a 2017 SLC!!!!!

Thank you worked on my 2015 C Class Mercedes 😊

My TCU has been remapped. Will following this procedure cause any issues ?

I did this and it worked fantastic!!! Car went faster,but unfortunately next day went back to same issue,any help??🙏🏻

Bro what is a reason behind bettery pic/icon on the centre screen?? Mercedes E class 2012

Does this also work on a 9g transmission (merc gle)

Hi is it the same for all mercedes (automatic) too

I do this once a month on my e class W212 keeps it driving nicely 👍 all though I do have the annoying dpf light on lol 👎

Hi my gla cdi 200 says, without changing gear consult workshop, Can I do the same procedure?

Also can I reset my transmission on a gle 43 coupe 2019?

Is it common for a 2015 Mercedes Benz cla200 to be slow when I first push the accelerator, i feel like it doesn’t respond to the touch

Thanks A LOT!

Is this the same procedure for 2020 GLS?

Is it the same process for A45?

Hi, so basically the steps are: 1. Turn key to 2nd on position (cluster lights turn on) 2. Hold down gas pedal for at least 10 secs 3. Turn key to off position (cluster lights turn off) 4. Hold down gas pedal for additional 10 secs at least. 5. Let go of gas pedal. 6. Wait 2 mins. 7. Start car and drive round for 15-20 mins so the adaptive gearbox can relearn the way I drive. Is this correct?

DUUUUUUDE!!!!!! this just fixed my ISSUE!!! (W166 ML350 2013 Bluetec) TOP MAN!!! been losing my mind on this... done TWO gearbox oil and filter changes in a space of 1 MONTH and still no results... as like you said the transmission kept the previous 40 gear changes (which were ALLL jerky and BAD changes... vicious cycle of changes without a proper reset) and so my rpms were always out of sync with what the NEW fluids and serviced transmission defaults should be... and THIS literally did the job... GREAT video man! I was literally in the mindset of scrapping the car if I couldn't fix this.

Thanks for the video. If the system learns the last 40 gear shifts, wouldn't it learn your new way of driving by overwriting it without needing to resetting it? It may take longer, but wouldn't it work like that?

Can this system get messed up if the battery is bad? I.e. my benz has check engine light "terminal 87 low voltage" code. Master mechanic friend told me change battery and reset/reprogram pcm? He says the battery affects multiple systems and will cause pcm issues. Any insight, anyone?
