Take it to the dealer...see what they think. But it does sound like it, but the D5 should be blinking when it is truly gone out.

That's what happened when mine started to go.... slipping from second to third. Wouldn't happen all the time, but once in a while. After 2 weeks I called PAA and had the tranny replaced...

Tell them to fuck off, the mufflers aren't doing anything

My friend's 01 CLS tranny went out but the dealer seemed to not want it brought in til the check engine light came on so they could have the problem codes. after about 3 days of slipping gears it got to where it wouldn't move at all and the dash trouble lights finally came on.

Seriously, tell them to fuck off. That's classic. The only way they can get mad at you for your mods is if your mods are the cause of the failure. Your intake and exhaust are not gonna be the causes of any failure, let alone the tranny.

I also find it funny that they make a sport version of a car and may be worried about you racing it and beating on it
