Car jerks? Torque converter? -How to reset, program Mercedes-Benz transm...

Folks please READ!!! Very important.
I hope you have a same issue and can fix it like so, if not of course other service needed, but I was told so many different things I even blame on dealer that they did something with my transmission, because I bend fingers in dealer store))) I have told from variety technicians that this could be bad transmission fluid, suggest bad transmission mounts, where I changed 2 years ago engine mounts, I have told that bearing on middle right front axle could went out, or axle it self.
Then I found video - ( https://bit.ly/2WUPa2x TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER NOISE VIBRATION HARD SHIFTING FIX | SHUTTER FIX ) where they adding small cup of special liquid to transmission through the measuring stick , of course it was on other mercedes. Then I start researching what can get involved and I found video for other model where is someone resetting transmission.
Procedure Reset Transmission Adaptive Learning DIY
1. Turn the key to position 2. You should see all the dash lights come on. Do NOT start the car. Position II: You should hear two clicks and all your dash lights should turn on. Do not start the engine.
2. Press the gas pedal all the way. By pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor, you will activate the kick down switch. Keep the gas pedal pressed all the way to down.
3. Wait. Continue to keep the gas pedal pressed for at least 30 seconds.
4. Turn key to OFF, position 0. Don’t remove the key. Some models may need the key to be removed.
Release the gas pedal
5. Release gas pedal
6. Wait 2 minutes. During this process, key is left in the ignition in the OFF position
7. Start the car and drive.
Once you perform this procedure the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and Transmission Control Unit (TCU) will work together to learn how you drive by monitoring your driving pattern. After you follow this programing method of the TCU / ECU drive the car for 15 min. Do not race the car, unless that’s how you plan on driving all the time. You should have a transmission that shifts smooth and normal. You may feel like you have a new transmission!

Symptoms of Torque Converter Problems should be like this:
Slipping. A torque converter can slip out of gear or delay a shift its fin or bearing is damaged. ...
Overheating. ...
Contaminated Transmission Fluid. ...
Shuddering. ...
Increased Stall Speed. ...
Unusual Sounds.
If Your torque converter can make a variety of noises when it goes bad. You may first notice a whine, similar to a power-steering pump that is low on fluid. The stator within the assembly uses an overrun mechanism with a series of clutches that, when bad, can cause a rattling noise.
but if it is just a jiggling try this fix first!

How often should you perform this reset?
Even though the car is supposed to relearn and adapt to your driving style and habits automatically, that works better in theory than in practice. Engineers at Mercedes-Benz had a good idea in mind. We would recommend that you perform this once a month, but honestly it’s all up to you.

This procedure should help if your transmission shifts randomly or jerks. If transmission changes gears when not expected. If you are experiencing random downshifts or upshifts.

Does the dealer perform this procedure?
Yes, but using a different method. This procedure can also be performed by Mercedes-Benz dealer using Xentry DAS Diagnostic Scanner. This reset can be found under Control Units – Drive- Transmission – Control Unit Adaptations or Adaptation – Display and reset of adaptation data – Resetting of adaptation data

This should work on E, CLK CLS CLA ML GLK S SLK C models, Crossfire, basically any Mercedes Benz years:



1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered a surprising shift in the Arctic Ocean.

A 'regime shift' is happening in the Arctic Ocean, scientists say

Exploding blooms of phytoplankton, the tiny algae at the base of a food web topped by whales and polar bears, have drastically altered the Arctic's ability to transform atmospheric carbon into living matter. Over the past decade, the surge has replaced sea ice loss as the biggest driver of changes in uptake of carbon dioxide by phytoplankton.

The research appears July 10 in Science. Senior author Kevin Arrigo, a professor in Stanford's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth), said the growing influence of phytoplankton biomass may represent a "significant regime shift" for the Arctic, a region that is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth.

The study centers on net primary production (NPP), a measure of how quickly plants and algae convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into sugars that other creatures can eat. "The rates are really important in terms of how much food there is for the rest of the ecosystem," Arrigo said. "It's also important because this is one of the main ways that CO2 is pulled out of the atmosphere and into the ocean."

A thickening soup

Arrigo and colleagues found that NPP in the Arctic increased 57 percent between 1998 and 2018. That's an unprecedented jump in productivity for an entire ocean basin. More surprising is the discovery that while NPP increases were initially linked to retreating sea ice, productivity continued to climb even after melting slowed down around 2009. "The increase in NPP over the past decade is due almost exclusively to a recent increase in phytoplankton biomass," Arrigo said.

Put another way, these microscopic algae were once metabolizing more carbon across the Arctic simply because they were gaining more open water over longer growing seasons, thanks to climate-driven changes in ice cover. Now, they are growing more concentrated, like a thickening algae soup.

"In a given volume of water, more phytoplankton were able to grow each year," said lead study author Kate Lewis, who worked on the research as a Ph.D. student in Stanford's Department of Earth System Science. "This is the first time this has been reported in the Arctic Ocean."

New food supplies

Phytoplankton require light and nutrients to grow. But the availability and intermingling of these ingredients throughout the water column depend on complex factors. As a result, although Arctic researchers have observed phytoplankton blooms going into overdrive in recent decades, they have debated how long the boom might last and how high it may climb.

By assembling a massive new collection of ocean color measurements for the Arctic Ocean and building new algorithms to estimate phytoplankton concentrations from them, the Stanford team uncovered evidence that continued increases in production may no longer be as limited by scarce nutrients as once suspected. "It's still early days, but it looks like now there is a shift to greater nutrient supply," said Arrigo, the Donald and Donald M. Steel Professor in Earth Sciences.

The researchers hypothesize that a new influx of nutrients is flowing in from other oceans and sweeping up from the Arctic's depths. "We knew the Arctic had increased production in the last few years, but it seemed possible the system was just recycling the same store of nutrients," Lewis said. "Our study shows that's not the case. Phytoplankton are absorbing more carbon year after year as new nutrients come into this ocean. That was unexpected, and it has big ecological impacts."

Decoding the Arctic

The researchers were able to extract these insights from measures of the green plant pigment chlorophyll taken by satellite sensors and research cruises. But because of the unusual interplay of light, color and life in the Arctic, the work required new algorithms. "The Arctic Ocean is the most difficult place in the world to do satellite remote sensing," Arrigo explained. "Algorithms that work everywhere else in the world—that look at the color of the ocean to judge how much phytoplankton are there—do not work in the Arctic at all."

The difficulty stems in part from a huge volume of incoming tea-colored river water, which carries dissolved organic matter that remote sensors mistake for chlorophyll. Additional complexity comes from the unusual ways in which phytoplankton have adapted to the Arctic's extremely low light. "When you use global satellite remote sensing algorithms in the Arctic Ocean, you end up with serious errors in your estimates," said Lewis.

Yet these remote-sensing data are essential for understanding long-term trends across an ocean basin in one of the world's most extreme environments, where a single direct measurement of NPP may require 24 hours of round-the-clock work by a team of scientists aboard an icebreaker, Lewis said. She painstakingly curated sets of ocean color and NPP measurements, then used the compiled database to build algorithms tuned to the Arctic's unique conditions. Both the database and the algorithms are now available for public use.

The work helps to illuminate how climate change will shape the Arctic Ocean's future productivity, food supply and capacity to absorb carbon. "There's going to be winners and losers," Arrigo said. "A more productive Arctic means more food for lots of animals. But many animals that have adapted to live in a polar environment are finding life more difficult as the ice retreats."

Phytoplankton growth may also peak out of sync with the rest of the food web because ice is melting earlier in the year. Add to that the likelihood of more shipping traffic as Arctic waters open up, and the fact that the Arctic is simply too small to take much of a bite out of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. "It's taking in a lot more carbon than it used to take in," Arrigo said, "but it's not something we're going to be able to rely on to help us out of our climate problem."
