MB Gearbox Specialist Recommendation please - Prefer Middlesex

[MPK]

Looking for a MB gearbox specialist in Middlesex / London area.

Need to check ATF levels and read any fault codes.

Possible Torque convertor problems - But, not sure.

Any recommendations ?

Hi Mike

What sort of problems you having with the gearbox

 

[MPK]

Roger Jones - Thank you for the recommendation Roger.

Willow32 - Symptoms occur when cold only. First thing in the morning, when I attempt to reverse out of my sloped towards house driveway, the car will stall, unless I give the accelerator some beans. This results in me dangerously shooting out onto the road !
If I let it warm up on drive, symptoms reduce.Once I am off the drive and have driven a couple of hundred yards, symptoms disappear - Until starting car from stone cold again.

Forum feedback so far suggests TC clutch binding.
But, it may be as simple as low ATF.

I dont have a dipstick to check the ATF.

As the car doesnt go into limp, not sure any codes will be generated either.

I have started a seperate new thread re: symptoms Titled " Gearbox Problem when Cold - W210 E320CDI 2002 "

Your thoughts - OR the loan of a ATF dipstick - Welcomed ! ( Tongue in cheek )
