tranny

First things first, hello this is my first post. My car (300SL 24V) runs great no issues, but I have an oil leak that comes from the grate in the tranny bell housing. My questions are - If it is the fronts seals on the tranny (my ATF level seems unchanged), how much does this generally...

Hi Folks Looks like I'll be in for a full service Inc Auto tranny and rear axle. Ouch... In terms of the Auto box what would an Indi do is it just oil & filter, flushing the TC or is there more to this? is there any advantage in taking it to a Auto Transmission specialist for the G/Box service?

Hello everyone, can anyone help me to change the auto tranny fluid on my '83 300TD? I am confused since my setup doesn't look like the Haynes manual or the other photos out there on the web.... normally there's an allen bolt somewhere on the pan, but mine has none! As you can see from the...

Is the tranny oil for the newer 7G gearbox the same as the old stuff I used in the my54 722.6 gearbox ?

Now then..... I'm going to view (well, no I'm not, I'm going to BUY it because its a steal) a '91 230CE tomorrow. It looks very nice, straight rust free body, tidy interior & engine bay and it runs perfectly.....except for the gearbox. The 4 speed auto won't engage fore or aft drive...

Hi all. Advice needed for my 1998 C280 Estate/stationwagen/break, r/h drive, auto box, petrol (owned for 16 happy years and counting). I need to replace the corroded solid thin gearbox/transmission oil pipe which runs down from the top of the oil cooler beside the radiator (on the R/H...

I´m doing a tranny flush tomorrow. The company that is trusted with the job is one of the best in Scandinavia. However, they want to use this oil which doesn´t meet the 236.14 spec as instructed by MB WIS for the 722.643 tranny. http://www2.midlandoil.se/produkter/...-omnimatic.pdf I...

I have an old 1990 4 speed Auto in my R129 V8. It shifts fine both up and down. I have changed the fluid in the Torque Converter as well as in the box and changed the Filter. I have no problem at all with the shift quality but I would love to be able to get it into 4th at a lower speed or before...

Hello Fellow MB people Need help, advice, thoughts!! Found mpg going down over 1 month period during 500mile weekly commute from ~45mpg to 39mpg. Pulsing, vibrating and juddering of car around 40-60 then 70-80mph. Mechanic on holiday and advised me not to drive but had no choice. 2003 e270...

Hi to all, I have recently cured a problem (with some help from you guys) with my new/secondhand purchase of a W210 E300td 1998. It has covered 111k and sometimes when I hit kickdown to overtake it holds in gear and wont change up. I stop and try to drive forward and back then it jumps into...

Ive think ive developed a leak from the tranny on the slk.The pilot bush was replaced two years ago when it had a fluid change.Is it common for the Tranny to Rad pipes to rust and leak??

The transmission in my recent purchase, a 1998 W202 C250 Diesel Turbo automatic, is starting to act up. Very occasionally it feels like it's trying to pull away from a stop in much too high a gear. Also, v. occasionally after brisk acceleration it will hang onto a lower gear far too long & be...

reading on US forums yankees say they got their c43 transmission reprogrammed with new tranny software to avoid the aggressive factory version software? Have you ever heard of this? When I asked my local stealer they say they have never heard such thing about tranny upgrade? Many of the...

Since about a year now, the 300TE Auto had developed 'delayed' gear changes and slight 'jerky' changes. It has done around 197K miles. Took the car for an MOT a few weeks ago and mentioned the tranny 'problem' to the mechanic just to get an 'opinion' from him. Although it passed the MOT with...

There seemes to be a lot of talk about c43 amgs gearboxes being on the week side as many of them fail leaving the car needing a new box or a re-cond one. but do the later c43s like the 2000 year have a better box my car drives fine and as fare as i know never had any work on the gear box its...

Hi All As you you probably know from many previous posts I run a relatively high mileage W220 (118,000) that is used as my daily drive to work. Its had much work done, including replacing the ATF fluid and filter and new prop shaft coupling less that 2,000 miles ago. I had the rear...

Just want to change the auto tranny oil on my 300TE S6 12V - have ordered the original MERC tranny filter and sump gasket but need advice whether to resort to original MERC tranny oil or alternative from Auto shops will do? What is the correct oil spec and how much will be required? I understand...

Hey guys, its been one week with my new MAF sensor in my 99 C230K with 80 000kms. Car has its fullest power but the tranny is acting worse now with the new MAF.....harsher jerky shifts when driving moderately and occasionally it likes to hold the 3rd gear for awhile. With the old MAF...the...

Hi, just have a question as this forum is very knowledgable for the W202 chassis. Yesterday I solved my loss of power issues finally with a new MAS. The car flies but then today it is shifting funny...holding the gears too long and then harshly shifting into each one...but its intermittant...

Could a faulty Maf sensor have an effect on my tranny slipping between 2/3. This seems to be happening only when the car is scold and when driven on low revs.The problem is also occurring when driving around corners when the transmission shifts from 2 / 3 rd. If driven on high revs from the...
