Mercedes GLA Diesel Gearbox Problems

My 2015 Mercedes GLA diesel with 124936 km is having gearbox issues. The paddle shifters are unresponsive, the transmission slips, and I hear grinding. The paddles are slow, and it's gone into emergency mode a few times. The codes point to a defective transmission control unit. Has anyone seen this before? The repair will be around 1000€.

That sounds rough! I had similar transmission problems with my Mercedes. Is it showing any electronic issues too? It could be the transmission control module.

Electronic issues as well? Could you elaborate? What symptoms did you have when your transmission control was failing? I'm trying to see if it matches what I'm experiencing.

Yeah, it sounds like what I went through with my Mercedes. The car was undriveable because it was stuck in gear. I suggest going to the workshop.

I appreciate the confirmation. It sounds like I'm on the right track with the transmission control. I will get the transmission control module replaced, and that should sort it. Thanks for the help.
