| Transmission Slips in C280
Hopefully someone can help me with my question. I have had my car for a week now. When I drive very relaxed (gradualy increase presure on gas, gradually decrease), the shifting and behaviour of the transmission is perfect is "most" conditions.
When I step on it, once the car reaches about 3,000 RPM it suddenly starts to rev up to 4,000 RPM, this is combined by a loss of power to the wheels (basically I feel the momentum of the car suddenly change when I hit this spot).
This problem also happen when trying to go up a hill at slow speeds but occurs lower in the RPMs. Also extra weight contirbutes to the car doing this.
Also when I have the car floored (like when getting on the highway) the change between 2nd and 3rd can lag, it dis-engages thinks for a second or two then goes into gear, other times it makes the shift very quick but hard and other times it's normal.
So i'm kind of confused since it's really not giving any consistant results. Any ideas?
I am taking it to Bosch tomorrow to have them look it over and probably change the fluid but I was hoping someone could comment on this so I could possibly give them a starting point.
The car was sitting for about 2 months. |
