Hi Guys,
I am new to the site and really hope someone can help me I have a 98 R plate W208 CLK230 kompressor.
Yesterday I was stuck in the snow and reversed the car and switched to drive a couple of times to rock the car out of the snow cavity!
After 4-5 attempts I heard a slight clunk and the gear selector froze, after a bit of force I managed to get it in virtually every gear apart from Park, the car stalled and although it says that it is in drive or whatever we were able to push the car back to its parking space!
After several attempts I am still getting nothing from the gearbox when it is in D, N, R (apart from rev lights). The Key is stuck in the Ignition too!
Is the gearbox knacked or a selector or something simple? Any Ideas Guys?
PS the Gearbox didn't seem to make any strange noises or anything beforehand. Nor have I ever had any issues with the car??
It has done 120k and has virtually a fmbsh? Any help would be imensly appreciated as I do not want to buy a new box if it is easily remedied?
Thanks, Dan, one seriously p'd off MB owner LOL
