My car's performance has dropped bigtime. Its pick is really bad. gear change is really bad. If its in 3rd gear & I put my foot down it doesnt go down a gead automatically. When I drive off & put my foot down it revs up but no pick up. Plus I hav to take my foot off the gas & press it so it can change to 2nd gear. I only had the car since febuary 2006 & got 12yrs warranty with it. Can anyone tell me whats wrong here?

I know the C180's aren't that sluggish as sometimes it picks up really good. So would it be the auto-clutch, gearbox or the engine problem? It's annoying not being able to go over 60mph.:confused:
