| Trans trouble
Just bought an '02 CLK. Start the car up...drive a couple blocks...and then take off on a highway revving up to 60 MPH. 1-2 shift fine, 2-3 shift fine, then at the 3-4 shift the transmission "pops" into neutral. The car wont pull anymore. Stop the car, put it into park, and it moves. Next time the 3-4 shift is delayed, not positive, and hard once it happens.
????got an answer???? |

I'd get someone to read the codes to see if any are stored.

nope...not at all. The car was warmed up before I started the test drive. The problem would only show during lower trans operating temps. The shop that did the trans rebuild said the lip seals in the chuth packs were nearly gone. THe trans cooler in the Radiator was leaking into the antifreeze into the trans. Cost me a rebuild and a new rad. I got the seals and old rad and am considering action. |
