Hi guys, Newbie here just bought a very nice 220 CDI CLK and love the car. It does seem to want to hang on to 4th gear ? or maybe it's just me ? Under normal conditions and using sensible throttle it changes into 5th at just over 40 MPH is this normal ? With 74k and no mention of a box service...

Hi All, I apologise for the "bad form" of the first post being a "please help" post but I have only just acquired a 2001 CLK 2.3K Cabriolet and it has a problem. Upon purchasing the car I assumed it would be an easy fix. Having searched the internet and these forum pages I am concluding that...

I was talking to someone the other day who said they preferred shift paddles in a static position rather than have them mounted on the wheel. Never really bothered me before but after that I noticed a few flaws in the AMG set up. Yes in a track day scenario you would ideally keep your hands on...

According to new research the brain ages an extra 6 years every 10 year period of night shift working. So as I have been working nights now for 17 years now my brain is the same age of a 70 year old although I am only 59, and as I intend to work until I am 70 my poor old brain box will think it...

Hi all, I have done some searches and found similar symptoms but not my exact ones. W202 (2000) 220cdi Has happened twice previous to this, I have driven off and soon realised the car wont shift up the gears, also the display to show your current gear is backlit but no display of the gear...

Hi Guys, I've a problem with my gear shift point. When in auto my transmission shifts fine, but when in manual, driving hard, as the revs approach the limiter it doesn't shift up! Even if you lift off slightly or tap for an up shift early it stays in the same gear if you have your foot...

Hi I'm driving a 2005 e200 sport with button shift on the steering. Iv read conflicting views that this can and can't be done. Has anyone actually done this upgrade and is it a straight swap from the electrics point of view? I know size it an issue but it's the electric side of things I'm...

I've just been offered a steering wheel from a W164 ML which I believe will fit my W639 Vito. The reason for the change, aside from the fact it would be asthetically better, are the paddle shifts for the auto gearbox. The question I have; can I retro fit the paddle shifts to the auto box on...

I know some people have done this mod, retro fit for the paddle shift. Can anyone tell me if it will be a straight swap or are there additionals needed?? Thanks guys

Hi, just recently gone from a 7 speed box with paddle shift to a 5 speed. I'm pretty sure I could use the buttons on the steering wheel to shift in ANY gearbox mode on the 7 speed. With the 5 speed in my CLK it seems I can only do this in Manual mode! In Sport or Comfort they do nothing...

Good evening everyone,my gearbox has started to mess around, it won't shift down to second or first when needed, seems to go from fourth to third, had to come home bypassing a steep hill the other day because I didn't think it would make it to the top ! any idea's please ? 638 v220 by the way.

Good morning members, I recently bought a 60 plate E250 CDI. I have the 5-speed auto which is great. Whilst getting to the know the car for the past 2 weeks, I have tried the manual shift and it doesn't seem to change down. It changes up through the gears no problem, but not down. When for...

Hi, I have a wood, centre gear shift panel from a W211 2004 E220cdi in Burlwood. I bought this as a temporary fitment while my original item was repaired. The silver-painted metal part on my original was scratched so I sent it away to get it ground down and then polished and resealed. So I have...

Hi On a 1997 CLK you can select Park, Reverse, Drive. Car drives fine, gearbox fluid fine and changes are smooth. However the shifter knob cannot be moved across from D into 4. It just wont move Any ideas why this could be? thanks Derek

Hi All I seem to have an ever growing tyre collection from various sets of wheels and none of them the right size for my car:doh: They are currently taking pride of place on my office floor and I just have to shift them. They all have plenty of life left in them. 18" Dunlops are all SL55 or...
