I have 2003 MB E240.. Recently my car just started giving an issue. While driving suddenly the gear locked at the 2nd gear and did not change automatically. I stopped and tried the reverse gear and it did not work either until i switched off the car and restarted and everything seemed ok. Now it has been 2 days and no such issue. I went to the workshop and they checked and told me that there is an issue with the electronic chip for the gear. But i am confused that the issue is not consistent, it just happened and now its not happening. Help me plz...The workshop told me that this will cost me more than $200. COmments and help plzzz..

I am not sure but I'd say it could be connector plug. If gearbox oil is leaking there it could mean that connector is getting wet causing it. It is common problem in 722.6 tranny.lay under car and try to locate plug if is wet or no

May need a new speed plate, if you check out my facebook page I posted a few pics of this being replaced last week. It will help you understand what it is. A new plate here in the UK is £204+VAT, fitting about £75 then new oil and filter. All in around £350-£400.
