autobox

Is there much difference between the settings? I know 1 is summer and the other winter, winter being longer gear changes and set off in second. The main thing I have noticed, which is quite concerning, is, when I need to make hasty take off at junction etc. there seems to be to long a delay...

Hi, car going into indie tonight, symptom is - when accelerating briskly from low speed, box stays in 2nd and won't change up. Have to stop, swich engine off for 10 seconds, restart, all fine, no faults on ASSYST. Also, there is a slight vibration whilst accelerating lightly and changes are a...

I have a a class t reg diesel 170 with auto. How do you change the box / is it a hard job?

Please can somebody help me out???? i have a 94 c180 with an autobox that behaves erratic i.e. revs going up as high as 5500rpm and lowest at 3500rpm to change up gears, all gears seam to be working properly when changing and it changes down perfect. this is an early model with no MAF sensor...

Just been to see a 320 CLK....lovely car, but suspect that its got a dodgy gearbox as the gearbox will not hold the car on a slope, even on the slightest of inclines it will roll back as soon as you lift your foot off the brake, whereas the car should just hold its position even if you didn't...

Hi there. Just got back from a journey to work and on the way I overtook someone. I came out of D and into 4th then I put it into 3rd ready for the overtake. I was doing about 40-45 when I put it into 3rd and it overtook flawlessly. Back into D and on I went. About 5 miles up the road I...

I'm assuming that as the winter setting changes up earlier there will likely be fuel consumption benefits. On my SLK 230K there doesn't seem to be any noticeable loss of performance using this setting. Is more strain put on the box by using the winter setting? Dave Vito 108CDI; SLK 230K

hi all When i was up at 124 works the other week Ian pointed out i had no undertray protecting the box. would anybody have one out there for sale? I don't know whetehr there is any difference mountings wise but mine is the 5 speed box. cheers matt

I would be grateful of a step by step guide to adjusting the cable and linkages on my '95 E300D. I've changed the autobox filter and oil but still find the gearbox doesn't change up until you reach about 3,000 rpm. The cable/linkage set up is slightly different to my '90 300TD estate, which i...

I've just picked up my clk320 which is fantastic, however I am not sure if there is a problem on it or not (being new to auto boxes and that!) Whenever I slowly approach a set of light, just before (or as I come to a stop) there is a clunk noise, almost as if something is disengaging. Is this...

I have a E55 amg w210. I have been quoted £200 all in. By the main Mercedes dealer to change the ATF/gaskets and filter. So does this sound reasonable for main dealers prices The reason i ask is that an independent garage quoted me £80 but i had to supply the ATF and filter etc which i read...

Hi i know this sounds like a daft question but how do i connect the kickdown cable down buy the gearbox as all i have is a little leg in the hole of the box and the part where the cable is connected goes in and twists close but i have loads of slack on the cable good1/2'' so i assume there must...

Can anyone guide me please. Where can I get an autobox for a 208 clk 230 kompressor and how much its going to be for one? I have searched the net for one but cannot find any info on it. A MB specialist looked at my car. He says I need a new autobox? I've posted my troubles in forum "gear...

Hi - my first post so go easy with me! Recently bought (long story, will post it in general!) a 2003 E270CDI Classic Auto and got an interesting noise coming from the autobox. At low speeds it sounds like a whining groaning noise, in first and second gear mostly below 2000 rpm. Loud on the...

DOES THIS WORK WITH ALL or just certain newer mercs mines a 99 300td eclass , any advice welcome..

Could some-one help me with my problem, I have an E320 with a 5 speed auto box. On kick down going up a hill it some times misses a gear and revs up, I have to ease off the gas and it finds the gear again. We have had the car for 5 yaers and it has done it 3 times some times going for more than...

Hi All, Have just got a CL600 in, i drove it away from where i bought it (sold as seen) and would not shift out of first (or second) gear. The winter/summer switch does nothing either. Its a 2000 CL600. Now what i have found so far: 1) The driver side carpet is alightly burnt and...

Hi, The CE is now pretty much finished and going quite well, Except I am still having problems with it changing gear. It hangs on to gears before changing and if you kick down, it wont change when its at high revs, say about 5000rpm. Its almost as if it is bouncing off of the limiter and sounds...
