Aggressive 2-3 should have aggressive 4-3 normally, which is usually caused by a K2 clutch failure.

A twist however is the hard shifts at inclines and bends. If you are losing gears at those circumstances, I would say check fluid level.

I am not sure if your car is equipped with a G-sensor, as it's failure will show when the vehicle is not driven level. Have you scanned?

True that, I get a rough shift from 4-3 as well.

Hard shift: this I get when I throttle, the box gives a sudden Jerk.

I was remarkably confused when I first read this. I had never heard of Mercedes W class. Turns out it was the E Class Chassis designation. You learn something new every day. Is it possible to get the VIN of the car? The catalog doesn't have W's.

Oh yea cheesy, it's the E320 chassis, only that she's the E350 variant.

VIN: WDBUF82J24X123816

Hi, I have a 2004 MB W211 4MATIC. The box shift rough from 2-3 and vise versa, I also get an aggressive kind shift too when trying to negotiate a corner or any kind of incline, say I slow down and want to pick up again.

What do you think could be wrong with her.

abibun:
Why will u buy a car for 2m+ and still go ahead to fix the body. The engine is going to be the one with brain box on the top, do u ever ask how much they sell the skeleton? Though formatic is better, unlike the others that u keep visiting mechanics for the arms.

With my knowledge; I'd say you visit mech more owning an AWD. naturally, AWD are much more expensive to maintain cos you have extra drive train. The RWD as always been cheaper to maintain and more fun to drive.

I still don't understand why there are fewer RWD around in C 300 class, especially from 2010-2013. The E class of this same year has a lot more RWD.

if Nairalanders are as broke as you claim, why do you ask for 7.7m here and 6m on Instagram. Because they called you out on your foulness, you resorted to name calling... How low of you. Any educated bloke like me who understand the syntax of a automotive machine, especially that of a German won't take that coffin of a gift

So you're asking for 6m on IG and you're asking for 7.7m here on nairaland...I salute your 'excellent price fixing' skill sir. 'Naira' kuku plenty for nairaland.


Yes, he's asking 7.7 for a totaled car. A car declared total loss by the insurance company. Notice the sensors on the fender are missing; Did you see how all the front pic were taken from the drivers side; well... Car suffered a major hit to the right, deploying steering, leg and definitely passenger airbags. I'd say it would have been manageable but considering this car is an AWD, surely, the drive train would be a mess as well as the chassis. Apparently... This is their so called buy and drive.

Looking like a turtle? What have you been drinking & sniffing?

Stop both activities NOW.....

Chill out amigo. If you look closely at the Ridgeline on the hood of that Benz up there, you'd notice the turtle has same Ridge pattern on its back. Don't forget that most designs are influenced by nature.

Oh...bulletproof cars are also called turtle, so don't feel lost when you hear someone call a car turtle.

BMW.

Dynamic and energetic designs. The modern car (producers of the Rolls Royce), best selling luxury car for the past 20 years - hustler company.

Did u know, at one time car manufacturing was banned in Germany, BMW manufactured pots n plates to survive! At one time BMW nearly sold to benz but they decided to give it one more shot and today we have it

Benz has been riding for too long on its past accolades


that past accolade is the reason you are/feel safer in your beemer today, if not for Daimler inventing/innovating the ABS system that's standard on all cars now, maybe some people won't be alive today to post crap about MB. that same past accolade got MB F1 1st podium back to back since 2014 to 2016 whereas BMW won it last since 1983, same past accolade made Lufthansa seal a deal with Daimler instead of BMW...right, read up amigo

I never said Japanese cars have better centre of gravity _ neither do I think centre of gravity is dependent on Japanese or German but what the brand has in mind.

Most sedans have low centre of gravity which I consider good enough. SUVs are actually more prone to rolling over because of their higher centre of gravity. They are better at head-on collision and have more balance while on speed due to greater mass...not for great manoeuvres (at least up to some limit).

What is the function of the (rear) axle? I believe to transfer engine power to the wheels and carry the weight of a vehicle. How does it come into play here? (That's in relation to poor centre of gravity _not comparison between FWD/RWD/4WD/AWD) Enlighten and correct me anywhere I am wrong.
