transmission

Hi I have a 1999 A class 160 and the gear box keeps going into F mode so times this juts sticks in what ever gear it is and other times it stays in 2nd gear, there's no rime or reason to this just random but seams to be worse when using lots of electric stuff lights ,heater, radio ect I had the...

Well, I fitted the new ignition leads to my 1994 R129 SL500 today. It now has new engine wiring harness, distributor caps & rotors, ignition leads, and plugs. The regular misfire is gone - Hurrah! HOWEVER... It still runs roughly, and misses, splutters and holds back under throttle - quite...

2001 slk 320 sticking in park HELP PLEESE !

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced noise from their 5G(722.6) transmission? The noise occurs when stationary in Drive and reverse, but way more noticeable when in reverse. The best description of it is a Rattly-Squeaky noise but not very high pitched. There also seems to be a...

Hi there, I'm looking for a bit of advice if possible from the knowledgable folks on this form :) I have a couple of issues on my CLK, possibly related. 1. When the car is cold and you put it in drive or reverse, there is a bit of extra 'tug' and judder when held on the brake. This...

Hello. I have just purchased a merc c220 cdi. It has a auto box but also can use it as a semi auto, i drove the car back home and parked it up. A few weeks later went to move it, it started fine but wouldnt select a gear. It just poped up on the dash "select gear" but wont go out of...

Hello. Just wondered if it's possible to "labour" an auto gearbox. I'm not very heavy-footed, but if I'm too gentle with the throttle, the gearbox can momentarily "shudder". It's an E220 cdi W211, bought with a good history and 54K on the clock. I'm still in time to send it back if this looks...

I am currently in dispute with the garage I bought my W245 from. I got the Transmission fault error message on the dash etc and took it back to them to check. They have said that it could be one of the three listed below but they would not know until they dropped it out 1. ELECTRONIC PLATES...

Hi new (to me) 09 reg CLK 280 and just a quick question re the C vs S transmission mode. Is it purely that S holds the revs longer or does it also change gear quicker, kick down quicker / 2 gears? Also, are there updates for the 7G box released by MB-I know other manufacturers sometimes...

I have recently bought 2002 clk 500. After reading on the forums i realised that there is no dipstick for engine oil and transmission fluid. I am planing on changing engine oil and AT fluid myself. Has anyone been sucesfull at buying them at reasonable price? Thanks

Hi I did a search and couldn't see an answer. Attempting to change my tranmission fluid, filter, pilot bushing. I managed to loosen the sump cover bolts so they are good to go - they were easy. But the T30 TORX sump plug is rock solid. Tried an extension on TORX tool socket, no joy...

I have a 2011 C180 which has done 50k miles. It's a 5 speed auto. From my research I understand that the transmission oil should have been changed around 37k miles (from the service history this wasn't done, perhaps because the previous owner didn't intend to keep the car long enough for a...

Due to ongoing gearbox issues in my CLK 240 (2003), I have the opportunity to get my hands on a fully working transmission from a C180 (2003). Now I'm sure I'll get shot down for asking, but here goes...... Will the transmission be compatible with my car? :confused:

I'm pretty sure that the gear selector module on my 2003 C class cdi estate is playing up. I have done a code read and cleared what I could using a Bosch generic reader, codes I could not clear include P240C (x2) signal from selector module not plausible. Started by sticking in high gear...

Could I ask, what are the usual symptoms of the pilot bushing leak with the 722.6 'box? The box in my '04 55K seems to be just the same in C as the one in my '03 car, and in S it seems a bit more eager to change gear than in the '03 (but that may just be because it's not fully adapted to my...

not sure if this is the correct place but here goes--does anyone know (even down to a good guess) what the weight is of this unit--Haynes says make sure you have a strong enough lift mechanism but fails to give any clue as to what it is-- I need a figure rather than "any engine crane" cheers

Hello, I'm new here and I was given a 2001 E240 Merc couple of years ago and all was ok until a few days ago. I don't drive the car much, in fact I've only done around 1000 miles since I've had it so its sitting in the driveway most of the time. A few days ago I took for a 4 mile journey and...

last week my w210 automatic transmission suddenly went in to what appears to by hard limp mode. Failure description and observations: Only second (I think, about 4000 RMP in 60km/h) and reverse gear works. Shift indicator window is filled. I've noticed a small delay (about half a second)...
