clunky

I think I've seen a similar thread about this but can't seem to find it now... When I'm using the manual mode I'm getting the occasional harsh shift. It doesn't show itself during 'spirited' driving but more when just normally around town. I don't switch to manual mode until the car temps are...

Hi all Just did 1k miles in my 2012 vito. Since purchase I've had dodgy shifts, put down to new van etc. Also when driven like "miss daisy" its been a joy, so, obviously It's my ham fistedness thats caused the probs. Low speed smoothness has certainly been improved with experience, but...

OK my esteemed gurus, advice required. 20k miles since gearbox was rebuild due to Valeo issue (previous owner). Recently, in the last 2 weeks, when hot, if I come to a halt, there is a jolt as it takes up the gear ready to drive off. General driving its OK, the odd harsh (ish) change, but...

Hello all Couldn't find this exact problem elsewhere on the threads - have the above noise on initial acceleration/throttling/moving up through the gears (automatic). Tends to stop once in 4th, with the odd rattle at cruise speed. It's done 170k and I'm concerned it may be the timing chain...

Hi I have owned my SLK 350 (2005 and 55k miles) foraround three months. I have noticed that for the past few weeks the first gear change from cold is VERY clunky and rough. Outside temp is still 8-10 deg, so not that cold really. When warm all seems much better, but I still wouldnt call...

I don't think the ink was dry on my 'I'm excited I've got a new car" intro thread here before the problems have started. It's a s320cdi 07 55k miles fmsh from the main dealer, serviced last month. Very much liked the dealership and passing the car to them for problem solving but I'd really...

The gear change on my W211 E320 CDI is especially 'clunky' (not smooth) when the car is cold and/or when changing down into a low, second or possibly first gear. Is anyone else experiencing this and aware of any potential cure? Could a dealer reset the gearbox to make changes sweeter? It...

Twas there on my W124 but have to admit was surprised to see it on the E Class coupe I test drove the other day. Same cruise control stalky thing too:confused: Not saying they don't work but having used an electronic jobby for a few years seemed like a bit of a throwback:confused:

Hi, Am new to this so first of all, hi all!! I'm hoping some of you Merc boffins may be able to help. I recently bought a Merc 2000 plate A160. Usually when buying a car I'm very meticulous but was having an off day and have been stung by not doing the correct checks. Firstly I've...

My car is a W124 E220 Coupe from '95 and along with the engine issues posted separately I've got the following problems: 1) Front axle sometimes knocks when turning left, tends to be with sharper corners, usually when turning while going over a speed bump! (A-frame suggested) 2) Rear right...

My dear old W124 300d Estate was "kissed" by a Land Rover and the front os wing is now well and truly modified, as is the leading enge of the drivers door. Luckily there damage to the steering gear or bonnet. Anyhow - Since this 2mph shunt the car gives hard gear shifts. I've checked the tran...

ok so i had my manifold off at the weekend (write up to follow when i have time) and changed plugs, cleaned it out (unbelievably grimey!), plugged EGR and changed the fuel lines. also got a new battery. it all went back together ok and runs fine and starts better so im happy with the work...
