Hi,
I bought a 2003 CLK 55 cabrio a few weeks before lockdown and have been having issues with the gearbox the odd day that i've got to use it. Its very clunky/jerky, almost like an elastic band and if pushed to hard wont change gear. Im aware this gearbox is pretty common and had similar probs at 150k in a 1998 C43 that i just sold on. I really like the car, so much that i bought a hardtop 55 last week and would like pointing in the direction of a reputable person/garage who can repair or replace the gearbox. Ive had lots of AMGs and V8 mercs but have never found a good mechanic who is familiar with them and end up just selling them on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Lee. Oh and im based in Leyland, Lancashire but not troubled to drive for getting the work done.
