Hi
I took my 2006 CLK350 petrol for service, and asked if they could take a look at transmission fluid level. When the car is cold first thing in morning, for the first 100 yards or so the car revs but seems to stick in low gear. It then frees itself, and no further problems during the day. Same thing happens next time though.
The garage did a routine B service, but were not familiar with the procedure for changing the ATF. Am I correct in saying that it is a specialist job, and that it is filled from the bottom? There is no dipstick present. The service guys rang a local Mercedes Indie who said that the unit is "sealed for life" and that oil cannot be accessed. I don't think that is correct..or am I wrong?
Anyone recommend a decent indie within comfortable drive of Bournemouth who could help with this, please?
