Hi, newbie here. My wife has a 2005 CLK 200 that has just started having intermittent issues with the gearbox. Only happens when hot, but symptoms are, when parked and moving into drive or reverse, the car lurches slightly. Sometimes there is no motion from parked when putting into drive ore reverse,(putting into park for a while fixes this). Gearbox not changing up when going faster. The car has done 70000 miles and is 15 years old and to my knowledge has never had the gearbox oil changed, could this be the problem? or could it something else. I had a similar issue with a volvo some years ago with a very lurchy gearbox that several gearbox oil changes fixed, (sticky valves maybe)
Any suggestions as to what it may be, (and how to fix it) would be most welcome.
