Hello,
I have a 2007 cls 320cdi with the 7g-tronic box. The car has done 35k and is due to have it's oil change in about 7.5k miles at the next service. Over the last few months I've noticed the gear changes have become a bit slower/reluctant and I seem to be getting an increased number of harsh down changes as well as the occassional upward change that allows the revs to climb a bit between gears going upwards (a bit like a learner that doesn't get the accelerator off quick enough). I'm lead to believe that a gearbox oil change will probably cure this as the problems are mild and occassional. The issue I have is that I don't trust the local dealer and I'm wondering whether to pay an independent specialist (good local reputation) to do it. The only problem is the car is under an extended warranty, which ties me into going to official workshops for the next 18 months. So my question is does anyone have similar experience of this problem and is the fluid change likely to fix it? I'm hoping the answer is yes because I would rather use the indenpendent.
Thanks,
