Hello there,

[Mark57]

Hope everyone is staying safe during these terrible times.

I have a 2003 E320 Avantgarde estate.
Love it to pieces.
Lucky enough to have driven it on the Autobahns at least once a year for the past 8 or 9 years.
That's when you really find out what the Merc is all about.
It was built for the Autobahn, it's home.

Anyway, recently got a problem with the transmission.
Symptoms - Stuck in manual, 1st gear only. Can't shift back pass N to R or P.
Swith off all ok.
But in Auto doesn't seem to be changing gear as usual.
Next drive back from work, really slow to get going, stuck in higher gear ?
Arrive home, again can't get R or P.
Swith off restart all good.
Really not well.
1 Low gearbox oil ?
2 After major cleaning interior by her ladyship, possible wet on trans module under gear shift ?
3. Battery low ?
4. The 13 pin connector problem ?

Has anyone got any thoughts ?
Oh, should say first clue was an audible clung when selecting drive the first time.

Really need the car at the moment as I'm having to work during this virus outbreak.

Stay Safe everyone.
