When you originally started this thread, you simply said that you just replaced the conductor plate and listed the wrong DTC of P0175 (which is obviously P0715). You never stated why you did this repair in the first place. It's very difficult for anyone to assist you when you only listed the code, but not the problem/symptom(s) you were having prior to replacing the conductor plate.
How did you arrive at the fact that you needed a new conductor plate? Did someone tell you so? Was it simply because of the code? Did you read another thread which influenced you? What are the present codes?
I installed the conductor plate because the car was shifting erradically, then went into 1st gear limp mode. I pulled the code P0175 and after numerous forum checks, here and on mercedesshop and a friend at the dealer, all said that the speed sensor on the conductor plate was the issue with this code.
I replaced the conductor plate, removed 5.3-5.5L of oil, put back 3L to check level and it said it was nearly full. However, the tranny wouldnt engage any gear. So I added 1.5L more, it would then engage however I checked the level with the stick and it said it was over, so i removed 1 L and that put it at the max level. Now again, the tranny doesnt engage.
However, as my last msg stated, how can it be full if I removed 5.5L from the factory fill and only replaced 3.5L?
...with the tranny now not engaging again.

5.5 Ltr does seem a little high, we normally put 3 ltr and then start the engine and run the transmission through the gears after check the oil level and top up as required. Its possible that the valve body gasket is upside down and therefore blockin oil flow. Without the torque converter being drained, I dont know how you got so much fluid out
I would suggest you put back the same amount of fluid as was taken out and see what the effect is, maybe you have the wrong dipstick for your car
well, i add the remainder of oil for a total of 5L. The tranny NOW engages.
How odd this was, for some reason I extracted a lot more than expected and the gauge didnt read correctly.
Now to get limp mode removed and see if that fixes my problems.
chlubb, how's your ML now? Have you find out what the problem was?
His last overall post was on 2/14, so it is safe to assume that he is not a member who visits the forum regularly. I would suggest sending him a PM and ask how he made out.
