slipping

Hello! My W168 A190 auto trans first gear is slipping upon take off :( The odometer reading is 57,000km. Problem not solve after replacing MB ATF and filter. Any solution ?

We have owned this 1987 benz W124 260E for 14 years. While driving it a few months ago, I noticed the gearbox slipping between 3rd and 4th gear. Over time, the slipping problem aggravated, to the point that now, the transmission can stay in neutral position between 3rd and 4th gear for as much...

I had clutch slip on my morning run yesterday. As soon as it was clear what was happening I limped to a safe space (5 min journey) and the car is rested up. We just had some local flooding, I'm not sure how high it got but I suspect it was enough to touch the underside of the car, not a great...

Hi, i would like to ask what could be the problem with my C180 gearbox, the problem is that the reverse gear feels like a slipping clutch in a manual transmission, engine revs up but car will move very slowly and little power, cant even climb a very little slope. I have changed transmission...

Hi there, I've just bought a 13 year old C220 Diesel with 130k miles and no service history. Apart from a squeak from the rear left shock absorber (it has a towbar!) it's been running silently for about 400 miles. Now I'm starting to hear things... The page in the MB manual which describes the...

I've mentioned this before, but now I have more clear idea of whats happening, any comments welcome: From cold, if car left in D while stationary for few miutes, drive to wheels slowly becomes less and less until when I put my foot down to set off the g/box slips like mad. When warmed up the...

Hi there, yesterday my gearbox started playing up with the following problems: 1. When I pulled away from a roundabout the box jammed in second gear. When I accelerated it would not change up and I could not over-ride it with the tiptronic. I had to pull over, switch the engine off and...

I have a 1996 (P) E300 estate (W124) the clutch slips on occasion when changing from 2-3rd and 3-4th. Causes?

Hi! I was told that my gearbox seems to be slipping. How one can tell that gearbox is slipping? Are there any faults expected with star? Are there any tests to be carried out? Many thanks! Cheers Chris

Another little problem. . . . . . . . When driving along in 5th then accelerating the revs rise briefly before the car starts moving any quicker. When accelerating rapidly the revs rise by upto 500 before the car starts accelerating. At less acceleration (mild), it takes less revs before...

I have an W210 00 E320 CDI Estate 86k Mls, This started to behave like the clutch is slipping yesterday....still drives 30-40mph max ....is this the Automatic gearbox going or the torque converter.... Regards

Recently I have noticed a slipping feeling when I have the car (C180 Classic) in drive and reverse but stationary, eg at traffic lights. It's almost like the torque convertor applies more force to the wheels, then less force than it's supposed to do, it is effectively applying a jerk. The...

Waiting at lights yesterday in the Drive (D) gear but when I came to pull off the gears would not engage and the engine started to rev freely. Other gears seemed fine after the hesitation in first (D) just when Im pulling off gears slip. Its a A160 petrol with an auto box. Is this something...

Can anyone help me out with this please. Also, how would you know if your differential is slipping. On a side note, does anyone know at what RPM a kompreossor in a '02 C200 kicks in? and how the variable valve timing unit of a car effects engine sound? Thanks in advance for any replies

Hello, Has anyone heard or used a product called Lucasoil Transmission Fix? See url: http://www.lucasoil.com/testimonials/1991,1.html I am tempted to use it for the slipping reverse that I am getting. Please, please, please let me know if this is real or a hoax. Regards Jenz

Well, the title really says it: When I start of with a cold engine, it is as if the torque converter slips. Most notable when starting from a stand-still and you accelerate a little briskly. Revs flare somewhat, and the effect is like a manual with a slipping clutch. When warm, there is not a...

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...
