My E320 w210 cdi.
Used to be a dream accelerating, when I really floored it would rev up easily and fly off.
Ever since one day of driving it hard and pulling, it's started to do this slipping type thing. It always happens at 2.5 to 3k revs when really flooring it. It feels like a slipping feeling, the revs get stuck. It sort of feels like a premature clunky gear change.
I can still really fly just it won't rev up instead it'll slip and then eventually change gear and carry on accelerating etc.
It can still Rev highly, for example accelerating slower up to high speed it can get up to 4-5k. Only does it when really pulling hard.
It's still very drivable just has this odd problem.
Is it the clutch?
I thought maybe torque converter but I thought that only engages over 50mph.
Someone tell me it isn't something expensive please
