Hi
I've noticed on a constant throttle my e320 cdi stutters slightly when starting to go uphill. Only really noticable on motorway. Suspected lock up clutch and drove it with scanner connected. At cruising speed there is still slip between the engine and transmission of about 80rpm. When it stutters the difference drops to about 15 and then goes back up. Sounds like the clutch is engaging at the stutter when it should already be engaged. No warning lights coming up or transmission fault codes. Having oil changed and flushed but wondering about lock up solenoid but surely sol must be ok or it wouldn't lock at all.
Thanks
Gareth
