Hello, I have a year 2000 E320 CDI W210 with 68k on the clock which I have had a month.
A few weeks ago I was coming off a roundabout and floored it. The gearbox immediately went into neutral and the revs obviously hit the redline. I eased off and went to pull over but as I slowed down the car went back into drive and everything was fine and the gearbox worked as normal. It hasn't been a problem until today when my wife was accelerating hard down a slip road to get up to traffic speed before coming on to a busy road, as she got onto the road it went into neutral before sorting it'self out again as the car slowed. The cars behind had to brake as she slowed down. Obviously this could be a bit dangerous.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing it. Not sure when the gearbox was last serviced if ever. Many Thanks
