reverse gear trouble

[adam stanton]

Hi All,

I have recently acquired a 1998 SL 500. However the car has no reverse gear. It goes into reverse and moves backwards as long as it on a level surface. You can not apply any power to it, it simply revs like it is in neutral when you try. Can anyone shed any light on this problem for me.
Much appreciated

Adam

Hi and welcome with your super car, do try it in the W or S setting as these are two different reverse ratio's,

If no joy I will look it up later, and do remind me
