Hi everyone.
Well, it is true... I just screwed the gearbox and I need help:
The case: my gearbox, after get in the right temperature, was getting in limb/safe mode when you press the gas hard... Sometimes even slipping to neutral.
So I checked in a mb scanner and it was a sensor in sensor plate, but the mechanic told me that "could" be only the fluid (it was yellow, old, car with 96k)... Trying to economise a few bucks (stupid decision) I decided to change the oil by myself...
I've a got knowledge about cars (already assembled few engines, I put a turbo in my car by myself, etc) but no knowledge about automatic gearbox...
I read some forums and decided to do... After all, "how hard can it be?"...
It drains only 2 litres by the drain screw. So I decieded to buy the original oil (6 litres) and do 3 changes, knowing that part of the oil would be the old but it could solve the problem.
First time ok, second time I got the "brilliant" idea of turn the car on for a second to take a bit more oil out... Worked, 3 litres... I bought another litre. The car was "ok" until now but with the slip gear problem...
In the third time I did as the second one, this time only 2 litres...
The car has keeped slipping the gears but now with a small repetitive noise when rolling (not from engine, noise change with speed, not rpm)... I was think in wheal bearing...
Today I was going out and the car was completely without power when starts... You accelerate and it almost don't move... Almost 1 minute after turned on it started to work well, but when I put the car in the road the noise was really ugly (how faster it goes more noise it does)...
Well, that is the case in bad English (sorry, I'm a Portuguese speaker living in London)... The money is short and I know that I will need to take to the garage to fix it (or someone want want to buy a 2001 c270cdi in great shape but with a big problem in the gearbox????)
I believe that will be better buy a new gearbox and put it on place... And here are 2 questions:
1st: I know that the 722.6 gearboxes have different ending numbers depending of car model. Anyone knows what one works with my car? (e.g.: will a c220cdi gearbox works in my car?)
2nd: anyone has this gearbox to sell me or know someone / someplace where I can buy (cheap, please!!!!)?
:fail
Thanks
