gears

More flexible gears. This is the first auto box I've owned and I'm not really liking its decision making. I know the latter models had a tiptronic style changer and I wish mine had it too. I always seem to be in a gear too low and I know I could floor it but the kickdown is too severe. If...

Wondering why I spent so much on a car when I don't really do that many leisurely private miles I thought I would take it out today for a spin. The car was in at Mercedes last week for a response/delay in the throttle when setting off in auto mode (This is only after the car has engaged in a...

Hi I have an 05 A180 CDI (40,000 miles) and it has always been difficult to change into lower gears - it is like you have to struggle to get them into gear - first and second particularly. We have been told the linkage is ok and that a replacement clutch is the best option and would cost...

Ive been away for a few weeks, took the car out this morning, and theres a problem selecting gears. I drove a few miles, everything fine, I selected reverse, and reversed into a parking bay, then tried to select drive, but the direct select would not move from reverse. I turned off the...

Hello again guys and gals, I am at my wits and pockets end! I did previously post and took your advice to get codes read S320 CDi 2001. Jobs done and parts replaced since first codes read etc. New mass sensor, air filter, oil seperator (not seperating), No1 injector, gearbox oil and filter...

Hell0, is there a way of changing the display from temperature to which gears the car is in? Was told its temperature by default but this could be changed? Any idea on that? Thank you. Olivier

Hi, Due to holidays i'm yet to pick up my CLK220. However I was wondering how many transmission variants there are for a 2005 220CDI Avantgarde CLK. Auto with push button on the rear of the steeering wheel. Seems to me there is a 5 speed auto or a 7 speed auto tip. Can anyone enlighten...

Hey Guys, My car won't change gears now. Won't go up or down. Stays stuck in D, can't set W/S option either. What could the fault be? I was driving and the car changed into 3rd, but slipped, cue loads of revs but no gear selection. It finally got back into 2nd and stays stuck in 2nd...

I have searched the site and I can,t seem to find anything resembling this issue. Driving through a junction, stopped and then no forward movement at all, only drives in reverse. Got a clunk like, if a manual box slipped out of gear. Anybody got any ideas as to what might be wrong. Engine is...

In auto mode plumes of black smoke come out of the exhaust when accelerating fairly hard. However when doing the same using the Tiptronic gears no smoke at all. How wierd is that ?

What is the best speed (in Km/h) for changing into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear on a 4 speed manual gearbox Mercedes W123 with a 3005cmc diesel engine (617.912)? I'm asking because I find the speedometer markings totally unhelpful (I rarely drive past 70Km/h in the 3rd gear for example). Does...

Hi guys + gals, After a recent service I was advised to replace the front propshaft coupling. The garage said this would stop the gears knocking when changing or selecting gears. Unfortunately, after getting it changed nothings improve so I went back and now they say they need to put the...

Guys, strange thing happened to me on the way back home last night. I was breaking just before a bend at 50mph down to about 35 I would say. All OK until I put the gas back on to drive round the bend. To my surprise, the engine revved up but the car was not in gear :confused:. Still rolling, I...
