Hi Everybody,
I am new to this site so if i make any mistakes then i apologies in advance, I have a c class 270cdi, (2003) on occasions (3) over the last 2yrs of ownership i have had the following problems:
The box will jump into neutral whilst driving, even though the dash clearly displays that it is still in drive, but i can freely rev the engine whilst d is displayed on the dash, then the box will jump back into drive and off we go again. All other gearbox functions seem to work perfectly. I have also noticed that in cold weather after starting it seems to start off in 2nd gear rather than 1st, this doesn't occur once it has traveled a short distance.
If anyone has any ideas or advice then i would be more than grateful.
Regards
Steve

Hello and welcome. do have the fluid level checked in the gearbox first.

Yes its normal to hold the lower gears to warm up the CAT quickly
