I recently changed the oil and filter in my 1998 c200 petrol merc auto gearbox.
I did this because the mileage was 100,000 miles and it very occasionally stuck in first gear after it had gone from park to drive with quite a hefty bang jerking the car, this might happen just once in a few weeks of driving and you can run it up to the red line without it changing,have also tried moving the selector over to manual and changing down to no effect, it will then change gear as if nothing had happened.
After the oil change it seemed to have cured it but today, after about 300 miles since the oil change it played up again, pulled away from standstill and holding in first gear up to the redline for a few seconds then changing gear as normal for the rest of the journey ,has anybody got any ideas, could I try an additive in the box oil.?
