HI
I have some problems with my c32 amg gear box.
All started with some heavy jerks on slow accelerations. After that the car stopped working , gear box lost some transmission oil and didn't changed the gears . Stopped the engine, switched the engine on and it changed the gears .
I took the car to MB dealer they investigated the car and told me it requieres a gearbox electric plate , gasket, oil filter and oil.
I changed that 275 pounds for ( electric kit, elastomer molde, oil filter, pilot bushing, transmission oil 2liters ) + 194 for the job . total= 560 pounds
The car was okey for about 170 miles , then started again to jerk very very bad , the gear box was even locked in the second gear for 2 times .
I took the car back to the MB dealer they carried out a gear box and Torque Converter flush 165 pounds for transmission oil and 195 pounds for job . total 430 pounds
They said all have been fixed and the car is working perfect now , I took the car from the workshop parking area , BUT surprise : the gear box didn't worked was totally faulty , changed 1-2 gears then it ended on Neutral.
I returned the car to the MB dealer after 3 minutes asking them if they tested the car after they done the torque converter flush to check if the gear box its working or not , i assume they didn't but of course they said YES!
Now I don't know what to do . The dealer mechanics said i must buy a new torque convertor ( this will cost me around 1700 pounds ) but they don't offer any warranty . They are not sure this will fix my car .
They only offer warranty for a new gear box+ torque convertor which costs 4800 pounds !!!
Should I change the torque convertor or maybe to try to refurbish it ?
Please help me . Any advices are welcome. Sorry for my bad English !
