autobox

Urgent help needed please! The gearbox on our automatic 2003 W211 E270 CDI seems to have died. When I put the car into drive (or reverse), the car drives for a feet or two, and then stops, as if it has popped back into neutral (although the gear lever is still in D (or R)). The engine revs...

I have an autobox i bought with an engine for a a veg oil project but it never fully materialised as projects often do. The engine and box (from a 300D) were bought from Dronsfields with 71,000 on the clock. The mot certificate for the car was shown to me to prove this as well as an email from...

Hello all, After reading my manual trying to find out what the w&s button means by my gearstick, I realised the display should show what gear it is in etc... Also what mode it is in w or s... I dont have this display showing, Can it be turned off or other i have searched the manual but not had...

Hi all, This is my first post on the forum, so please be gentle with me :D My question concerns the auto gearbox (4-speed) basically when the car's doing 70mph the rev counter reads 3000rpm :rolleyes: is this normal for this type of transmission? Previous Auto's I've had all dropped the revs...

300TE - After driving around for about half an hour this morning, I stopped at the local shops and saw a trace of fine 'smoke' appear from the underside of the car at mid-section below the doors......bent down and discovered that it was from the traces of leaking oil which had blown onto the...

Hi All, been looking on the US forum site and theres a lot of talk about changing the fluid on the w208 every 60k or so. is this needed

Hi there. Does anyone know how many litres of gearbox oil should be in an 1996 E200 Auto. I can't find the information anywhere. Many thanks.

The 4 speed autobox on my recently aquired 83 saloon is not happy! Bought the vehicle with issues so working down the list. The box wouldn't change into 4th when first driven but when warmed up will slip into 4th but only when I push hard in 3rd up to around 35mph. Once in 4th and undre load (up...

Any bright ideas for dealing with the slender bolts fixing the autobox sump to the main housing? Torqued at a mere 8Nm, isn't it just ironic that they should be corroded, and my mechanic is very reluctant to force them beyond their obvious point of resistance.

Hi, My 2000 C280 W202 Tiptronic sometimes makes a very hard shift 2 to 1 but only when not fully warmed up. What seems to happen is that I'm in traffic and slowing down in 2nd with little or no throttle and then I want to increase speed again so I apply throttle and then there is a very slight...

I've had better evenings! Gave my 1998 C180 away to my brother in law a few weeks ago as I fancied a change. Got a call last night to say the autobox was making 'noises' and the gearchange was a bit jerky. I said no problem, probably just due a transmission fluid change. Drained the fluid and...

Hi all I have just bought a v220 with a gearbox issue, sometimes it wont change up the gears untill i switch the engine off and restart it. I want to check the oil level of the autobox but I cant find a dipstick for the box,or level bungs can anyone help? 2001 v220 diesel auto.

This was apparantly listed on the other forum but I can't find and info. Interested to see what the figures are with all the talk of ECU mapping and the Brabus chip being pulled a while ago. The 5 speed on mine comes up as 722.699 Cheers Adam

Hi guys im new here, Ive recently bought a 2001 Y reg CLK 320 (tip) Auto which has a gearbox issue. The car refuses to change up into higher gears (goes up to second i think), 55mph=5500rpm approx. It also does not go from D to Reverse but will go from P to Reverse. Any pointers would be...

Hi there I recently saw an old thread for changing the auto gearbox fluid from a chap in Preston who quoted £55.Sods law being as it is can I can't find it now.Can anyone direct me to the garage in question. Many thanks Regards Rob

Hi Folks, I'm new to the club and to merc ownership. I picked up a cheap 1996 C200T auto recently. It was idling a little rough with a slight misfire so I changed the plugs and it's running sweet now. When it was idling rough and stopped in traffic, gearbox in D and foot on the brake, the...

The Hardknott and Wrynose passes in the Eskdale valley in Cumbria, Lovely area [ we have a few days there every couple of months ] but aint going over the Hardnott again in bad weather. Wheels spinning, tyres smoking, wife saying I told you we should have gone the long way round, we made it but...

The auto box has been fine until a recent 500 mile motorway day-trip after which it has become somewhat erratic when sometimes it shifts from 1st to 2nd with a delayed and a slight high rev motion :confused:. This only happens when it has been driven a while and at random - not all the time...

Where could I find a detailed procedure for an 300TE autobox oil change? I have purchased the original MERC filter and sump gasket and am not sure whether the normal ATF or Dextron III is the correct oil - is the Halfords or ECP ATF good enough or does it have to be the MERC oil!?! :crazy...

As title really? Mine is feeling slightly sloppy and whist selecting P R N D, et al is fine, feels like there is a bit of slack in the shifter. Thanks!
