Hi everyone, it's great to have stumbled upon this site, it's nice to see such a supportive community. I would really appreciate any advice to this problem, I have a Mercedes CLK 2001 petrol, Automatic, engine 230 Kompressor, 87,000miles on the clock.
The problem is as follows, about two months ago I noticed the car was not going past the 2nd/3rd gear so before trying anything else I simply reset the transmission (i.e. turn key to position 2, press the gas pedal, key off then release pedal) This instantly fixed the problem but about a month later it reoccurred so I reset it again and it fixed the issue once again, but two weeks later it has returned so again I reset it. I also noticed on each occasion i.e. when it decided not to go past past 2nd/3rd the car jerks forward quickly when initially moving off/starting i.e. moving from parking to drive but as mentioned above as soon as I reset the transmission it also goes away and everything works and is smooth.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be / how to fix so it doesn't keep happening? Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Jay
