downshift

W211 MY2005 7 speed auto. I have an occasional issue that now appears to getting more regular I feel it's gearbox related but could be wrong. The car will occasionally enter limp mode but stopping turning off and restarting clears the fault this is now occurring from what was a couple of times a...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 2012 W212 E350 (60k miles). The gear changes seem very smooth during acceleration but not so good when I take my foot off the gas. When I am cruising towards red traffic lights, I'm guessing the box is downshifting but not in a smooth manner I would expect from...

Hi all, I have a W204 C320 CDI with 7G tranny since a few months and I am facing some comfort problems and hope someone will help me sort it out. Transmission has been flushed a month ago at 100 000 km and has been flushed first time at 50 000km. I have a Star Diag and there is NO faults in the...

Anyone heard much about a transmission jolt when the 2012 7 speed autobox downshifts from 5 -3 (ie slowing from about 40mph to 35mph)? I remember at least one other member here posted about it a while back, and I found some users on a US forum talking about the same thing. It happens to...

Saw the phrase in the title of this thread in an AutoCar article about the C63. What does it mean?

Hi there. I have a 200 C220cdi with tiptronic box. Recently,when driving on motorways, it has started changing down after I have accelerated with the cruise control on.Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi In my mom's A170 CDI I found a problem with an Automatic Transmission. When accelerating - everything is fine - smooth and clear, but when braking or slowing down, I can really feel downshifting:mad:. The transmission doesn't change the gear clearly and smoothly. I called one guy...

I have a '93 280E with a 4-speed auto that's pretty well-behaved generally. But I've noticed that when coming to a stop (e.g. at a junction) from a moderate speed, there's a noticeable kick from the transmission at the point it changes down (presumably into 2nd gear). Not very refined and can't...

This maybe nothing but..... I have the sequetronic box on mine which on balance I am happy with yesterday I noticed that when it or I drp from second to first as I come to stop, so hardly moving, there is a distinct clunk. Now, I don't recall this before ( but my memory these days) and...

Hi folks, have noticed over the last few days that occasionally on down shift (while in S mode) the car is downshifting with a jolt or bump as it does it. Doesn't do it all the time but usually when I'm going round corners or increasing speed on kick down. Something not right I think but...

Hi, I recently got a 98 slk 230 auto and when I test drove it and drove it back everything was fine, now I have or may have a slight problem. When the w/s switch is in W (winter?) the car behaves fine, yet when in S mode, which I believe is standard, all is well until I come to a stop, then...
