transmission

My transmission slips between 2-3 gear, its like it grabs on to something and loses grip and then engages gear, what could this be? Tranny fluid is correct ,not burnt but slight bubbles in it

Hi guys, i own w202 c180, 1993 year manual MB and i need some help, the problem is when i step my clutch and shift to my first gear and slowly get off from clutch (usually car moves slowly forward) my car moves with sounds like kicking in transmission (specially when you in traffic jam moves...

Hi everyone, I would like to know how it is possible to check whether my W220 S500 needs a transmission oil change. I have no idea when was the last transmission oil change. My car does not have a dipstick; the oil should be changed underneath I believe. My car has a whining noise from...

Hi Guys, My other half pick up her brand new A class last weekend which is equipped with the 7G DCT gearbox. I've driven it a few times now and the best part of the car is the quick transmission, much better than the 7G Automatic. Got me thinking... why would Mercedes use that on an A...

Hi all, I bought my CLK 230 with a not too serious leak showing below the autobox sump. Autotechnic, my local indie picked this up too, said its more likely to be selector shaft oil seal. I checked level with a dipdtick bought on e-bay and its ok. At 66000 miles I was thinking of changing the...

Hi there, I have a 350slc chassis 107.023 engine 116.982/4 it currently runs the original 3 speed box but I'm wondering if there is an easyish swap for a 4 speed box and would it improve cruising performance and perhaps fuel economy? thanks

Hello, I have just bought my first Mercedes, a 1991 W126 500 SEL. (bought it for a bit of fun.) Unfortunately the car did not come with any service history so I'm going to assume that it needs a full service including timing belt etc. I also want to check the transmission fluid level...

Hello, Few months ago, I bought Mercedes E200 CGI coupe 2011. Only when I accelerate (foot on throttle) I hear a throaty roaring noise, coming somewhere from front/middle section of the car. I am pretty sure this is not the normal sporty noise. So I took it to the dealer and they claimed...

A per the title, if I was to supply the fluids and parts needed for a gearbox oil change including the torque convertor to my indi, what would I need?? I'm going to supply the engine oil as I can get the Mobil Merc spec oil for £30 for 5ltrs so for the 8ltrs needed I'd save £35+ on the indi...

My 1993 e 280 was not driven for about six months and when started again reverse would not work unless revved and then only on a flat surface. Also got some oil appears to be coming from front of box. Changed the oil only draining from sump and when first engaged reverse worked again until the...

My C220 had some issues with the transmission seemingly stuck in one gear, not changing modes (M,C,S), paddles not working and revving high/low when accelerating/decelerating. Previously it reset when turning the key off but it happened again today and turning it off and on again didn't work...

Good evening all It appears I've experienced the wrath of the common P2500 fault on the W220's where the transmission slips while accelerating. The symptom that alerted me to this was throwing it into neutral only last week when I had been going over 70mph, it would put it back into gear again...

My car is a C200CDI Blue Eff 7 speed auto first reg. 27/05/2011 which will have 33k by time of 3rd service. I phoned 2 dealers and asked about service costs plus any extras. Replies varied: Dealer A) quoted £210 for service plus £75 for brake fluid change and said they could not tell until the...

My C200CDi is soon due 3rd annual service which will be an A plus transmission oil change. 33k miles Can you advise cost of transmission oil change.

Hi everyone, is it true that antifreeze from the radiator can enter the automatic transmission and course irreparable damage

Transmission losses?? When I had my M271 engined C Class I did lots of work on modding the M271 engine and concluded that transmission losses were 18%, however, this applied to the 5 speed auto gearbox only. Now I have a M272 engined car with the 7G autobox and my research suggests that the...

Hi there, I have a 58 plate E220 CDi which I have had for 4 months now and I have noticed that first thing in the morning the transmission is 'sloppy' when cold. It feels something like an old elastic band like it is struggling to make a smooth change. When it's warm it is smooth as silk and...

Hi, I'm looking for the location of the transmission control module (or, electronic transmission control unit) on my ML w163, 2002 (facelift) EDIT..... JUST FOUND IT..........Its above the brake pedal, alongside the heater box.
