Hi.
The old bus is giving me grief. It's the C220CDi and that's the second time it's jumped out of gear on a downhill throttle off downchange. Its a 722.6 gearbox and has been faultless until yesterday. When coasting downhill and changing down, it gives a bit of a jolt, then drops into a false neutral. if I brake a bit and coast for a few seconds, it just seamlessly selects the correct gear and drives away. The oil level in the gearbox is OK and it's happening when the box is up to temperature. There's nothing else going on with it.
I've not had the time to read the codes yet.
Any clues?
