Yes. It's what they do. They're rubbish gearboxes

Use the search facility on W211 gearbox faults..plenty of information to be found, that will be helpful.

Unquestionably, they are not rubbish boxes, highly complex & certainly not without faults.

Where are you based Dexter? There are lots who may be able to help you but a location might help point you to someone in the right part of the country.

Not all 7g's are bad, but they certainly get a bad rap from those who've had a bad experience (or two).
