C220 CDI SE Coupe 2002
Hello everyone.
A couple of months ago i bought a C220 CDI SE Coupe 2002. at first it seemed fine, but after a while it started jumping out of gear somewhere between third and fourth. As long as i am accelerating gradually its fine, but if i force it a bit it jumps out of gear.
Then the whole front started vibrating so i brought it to a mechanic who changed the engine and gear box mountings. Since then, as soon as i start it, it can either drive fine or it gets stuck on second gear and when i try to put it on parking it doesn't go further then neutral. I have to turn off the ignition to position the shifter back to P....
On top of all that every now and then as soon as i switch it on, it powers off out of nowhere and then its a mission to start it back on. the starter is fine but its like it doesn't get fuel.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with this car?
Please help me figure out how to fix all these issues :)

the mechanic who changed the mountings doesn't want to do anything with the car. he says it's my problem. i obviously need to repair it but i don't want to go in blind and end up with more problems on my hand. since i bought this car i've been hemorrhaging money and i can't even drive it most of the time...

Where are you based, based on what you said you need a competent garage, maybe someone can recommend a garage for you
