Normally, the gearbox in my 99 320 CLK is pretty smooth and quiet, but, if going up hill, it selects a lower gear and then stays in it! That doesn't seem right to me as even if I back off the throttle it stays in the selected gear.
I just had the oil level checked and it is fine and the oil is a nice pale red colour.
Also if I accelerate hard (ish) it seems to hang onto gears longer than I would expect. Under normal, wafty sort of use it is fine, smooth as silk and changes early and 'slushes' along nicely.
Many thanks oh Wise ones
