Hey guys... Hoping someone here can help
I have a 98 w210 e55. The problem I have is that whilst driving, if I floor it hard to downshift, I lose gears completely and car just revs away. I then have to let the car coast as its dropping speed to around 25mph before it finds a gear to engage in. This happens even if I try to manually select gears. Due to this issue its managed to blow the head on the car....
Now fast forward
New replacement engine & gearbox just fitted.
Driven now for over 300mls and its weirdly doing Exactly the same thing! This is despite the replacement box having a full oil service.
I've checked online and they point out an ecu reset.. Sequence of holding gas pedal down with ignition on and letting go.
I need some help guys as its now 2nd gearbox and engine with same issue
Any advice would be greatly appreciated... I'm based in Manchester btw
