 The K1 accumulator is in charge of shifts between 2 and 3. Usually to help with shifting problems, the springs can be replaced with stiffer ones that are ordered from a Mercedes-Benz dealer.  The K1 accumulator is in charge of shifts between 2 and 3.

 The K2 spring kit can be purchased and used to replace an existing part to help alleviate shift flares between gears 3 and 4. The part number **126 270 04 35** or **126 270 05 35** can be used at a Mercedes-Benz dealer for ordering a replacement kit. **126 270 04 35** has a 21.6 mm piston lip diameter and **126 270 05 35** has a 19.8 mm piston lip diameter. Be sure to order the matching piston size for your valve body. The K2 spring kit can be purchased and used to replace an existing part to help alleviate shift flares between gears 3 and 4.
