Srinter AUTO gear change wrongness???

[supernelly]

I got an automatic sprinter 03 yesterday.

The gear change is, or can be, just like a normal gear change, ie it loses power for a half second or so not like a normal auto change, and also if I brake quite hard to a full stop there is a thud noise, the harder I brake the louder the thud but I dont think it happens every time


Any ideas?

Cheers

Yeah it might be asr sorry

I warning triangle comes on on the dash when I press it

Why am I doing well? Its a tiptronic box if that makes any difference

Tiptronic aint sprint shift, they were rubbish and MB stop using them as they had so much probs with them.

So is mine working ok?

The change feels the same as a manual with the loss of power when the clutch is depressed
