Two nights ago my 1999 SLK simply never moved after stoping at a red light. I could hear a grinding noise coming from below the car (not the engine)and had to push it (not an easy task by the way) out of the street.
The sad part is that the week before the car was at the mechanic after it was having problems with a loud noise and going into gear. He replaced the cerpentine belt but found no problems with the transmission. I guess he never checked the transmission flued level....
In any event, the transmission needs to be replaced. Any comments from you guys will be greatly appreciated. I'm highly concern about cost and time involved.
Once fixed, I'm selling the car immediately. It's going on 100K miles and I simply can't afford the maintenance any further.
