autobox

Can anyone advise whether Merc `boxes "learn" driving habits,I know it sounds "wierd", I confess to driving In a spirited manner A.K.A caning it,but at times the way the box is so keen to change down gets a bit tedious (cruising at 70 ish,foot down it will drop 2 to 3rd and off like the...

On the wifes C180K Coupe, when it's cold, start it up, brake on, into drive or reverse and the autobox is pulling really hard, making the car shudder as I hold it back on the brake. Once up to temperature after a decent run it's smooth as smooth can be. Any suggestions other than possibly a...

My 1998 C180 Estate drives good for 155,000 mls but has recently developed a gearbox problem. The box appears perfect but on a couple of occasions and after using reverse gear, I select drive and the car pulls away fine but remains in first gear. When I stop and run the selector up and down the...

Collected my S204 today, and as advised by a member on here (or maybe it was t'other side, both have been helpful!), checked the service booklet in the car. Sure enough, it says ATF and filter change at 3 years/36k miles. Took this to the service manager for MB Ashford (where I was buying the...

I have an A160 which has a slowly engaging reverse gear , it takes some seconds before it engages , when it does it jerks , what could be the problem , and what can I do ? I have to drive the car for about 1960km from the sea port.

Hi All, the car is a 1994 300TE with 300,000km. The box has always been a bit clunky changing up gears and reverse always took a few seconds to go in. But today I was parked nose in in a car park and when I put it in reverse, nothing at all, the engine just free revs. I checked the ATF...

The car is a 57 plate w204 with 38000 having seen post saying its should be changed at that milage just wondered what you guys thought Thank Guys

well i guess the question covers what I would like to know. Can the box be mated. Would it need any adaption/altering and how would it be controlled?

OK, I am fed up hearing the whirring noise in my C240T when driving the car. I have the feeling that the noise is definitely coming from the automatic gearbox. How difficult is it to remove? Do I need to remove the AT with the engine or can it be dropped out separately? Is this a DIY job? I have...

Good autobox and tourqe converter, came from a 1992 300ce-24 with 140000 on the clock. Looking for offers of around £120.

Right Did the head gasket so the rad has been off, consequently i disconected the atf cooler. finished the job and topped the auto box back up with atf. Everything was fine untill i tried to drive home. The gear changes have suddenly become very very jerky. I have drained the gearbox and...

this is something I noticed lately. when i drive slowly - gear change at 2000rpm all is good, but when I take it to 3500 rpm after gear change revs falls down another 200-300 rpm ( down to 2200-2300 for just a second) before settling at 2500rpm?? oil and filter done aboout 5k ago level checked...

Hi there, I recently bought my first classic merc, a 1984 w123 200. It runs beautifully, and I am very happy that I took the plunge. There are, of course, a couple of issues with it, which I was hoping that somebody might be able to steer me on: 1> There seems to be a small, rhythmic...

I know lots has been written on this subject over the years. However, I thought I'd share my recent experience with other members. I had been deliberating for a year or two (or longer) as to whether to get my 1996 C200 (early 5 speed) 134k miles done or not. I finally decided to bite the bullet...

My CLK 320cdi appears to have developed an intermittent fault with the autobox. I have noticed a couple of times when I put my foot down that the car goes to change gear, but then jerks about a bit as though it is changing up and down between gears. There have also been two occassions when the...

Hi all, Looking for suggestions for the diagnosis of my gearbox problem. In September while I was towing I had several occasions when the car lost drive. This coincided with the blowout of oil from the sleve where the wiring goes into the box. This has since been repaired and a filter and oil...

While mousing around to see what I could find in the way of information about the new 7G-Tronic Plus transmission, I found this article for download. It's fascinating to read about the design objectives and what has been done to meet them. I have no idea how long it will be available, so if...

W211 E320 CDI (04) I've noticed that from a cold start then the gearbox has a bit of difficulty - i do the same routine every day, and it does it every day from cold, though later in the day when warm then it doesn't. I start up, all good. Selector to R, handbrake off, footbrake off, and...

My 51 plate 220 Cdi with almost 200k on the clock, decided to spit some ATF out onto the exhaust whilst towing recently, though the fluid level was correct or slightly high prior to this, the car lost drive on several occasions, I'm still waiting for the use of a ramp or a pit at the moment so...
