I have had my c320 estate for a week or so now ( 02 with 84k on the clock). I am having some worries about the gearbox. I've done a search on the site but can't find anything similar to my problem.
When i am rolling up to a junction the car occasionally seems to stay in 4th gear, shuddering slightly when at very slow speed. then when i need to accelerate i have to virtually kick down to get the gears to change and move forward as i have no acceleration due to it still being in 4th. Any ideas? I'm guessing it's still in 4th as when i move the tiptronic across 4 is still on the dash even though i'm stationary or at very slow speed. Apart from that the gearbox seems to change gear as normal as reasonably smoothly.
