    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Seeing that gasket, it looks like this thing wrapped around the front of the transmission like somebody wanted to keep a spare or something? Weird

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Talked at length with a transmission guy, speed sensors are supposed to drop to 0 in drive when not moving (duh!) I thought they were losing contact...he agrees with the common wisdom of connector first, if that doesn't work conductor plate...anybody following thread I was trained by Google :)...

Almost 700 at Dodge, getting one for 260 in toronto that's an MB plate...trying to get it running on Monday, all the offers lately seem to be 2 oversize skids...ordering from Europarts would take an unknown amount of time and a 30% duty to cross the...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Thanks for that tip...it was intermittent, there were 4 lights on, cleared and road tested and did not return - heard on sprinter-source the tailights can cause that, there is a bulb missing...I watched the transmission shaft sensors drop to zero and fault on the scanner when in drive, that and...

    New Sprinter scan tool

    Thanks, saved me the time to find it again...had some experience with the Autel Maxidas DS708 today, it indeed communicates with the 2005 canbus/eobd2 interface and clears all codes...would not fix my trans issue (problem exists immediately on turning key) but I tested shifter functions in real...

    Sprinter Survival Kit?

    I know I need one, not sure whether it matters to get the cheap or good dipstick. Good to know they can be reliable - as for seats, I drove it home and didn't want to get back in my Ram Van, it's down to the metal on the drivers side :D

    Sprinter Survival Kit?

    Me either, but thank you for answering...the Autel Maxidas DS708 is a Chinese scan tool that supposedly works with just about any brand, but I can't get a firm answer in the coverage tables

    Canada Question for Canadians

    Hi and thanks for replying...I read somewhere that you could use actual expenses or a simplified per mile deduction, which if I was allowed to use it, would eliminate the need for me to organize receipts and calculate expenses. It would also in my case make a bigger return as each 100 percent...
