Mercedes ML Transfer Case Issues

I have a similar Mercedes ML, though I'm not sure of the exact year I had similar shifting issues a while back Turns out, the transfer case oil wear was the culprit Have you checked the oil level and condition Low or dirty oil can definitely cause those symptoms

Thanks for the quick reply How did you know it was the transfer case specifically And how bad was the shifting when you experienced this Was it like the car was struggling to find the right gear, or more like a jerky, sudden change

Well, the symptoms were almost identical to yours As for knowing, I took it to a shop, and they diagnosed it I would suggest you do the same 330€ sounds like a reasonable price, to be fair

Thanks a lot I appreciate you sharing your experience I ended up taking it to the shop, and you were right Defective gears and serious oil wear in the transfer case Got it fixed for 330€, and it drives like a dream now You saved me a lot of stress
