good news everyone, my cars driving like new again, turns out i had a transmission leak at the radiator were the lines go in. it was causing all my fluid to leak out, funny thing is i never noticed a puddle or leak under my car. my mechnic told me that because it had no oil in the trans it was acting up. mayn fellas what a releif, i'm back on the road and i have my new tv in. I fell like this
transmission gets stuck between 1st and 2nd for a few seconds...
took it to the dealer, they said the trans fluid is leaking into the radiator..
they will replace the radiator and flush the fluids, and if that doesnt fix it, they will replace the torque converter. if that doesnt fix it, they will replace the whole transmission
still awaiting the result...

2006 C230 with 7G-Tronic:
S mode..car will not start from 1st gear, if manually selected it will not accelerate until you put it to 2.
When driving it will slip out of gear into neutral when trying to pass other cars.
What can the problem be? Does my case sound like if my tranny is also low on fluid? What's the transmission dip stick part #?

I have the dipstick and extra fluid if you want to stop by.
I'll just charge you $10 a quart if you need fluid.
I'm in San Jose these days.
I thought you sold the Coupe?
When I did my last flush, I accidentally took more out than I put in and would up 1.5 quarts short. I drove it like that for a few days and yeah, it dropped into N a few times. Scary. Otherwise it drove fine. I imagine you're cruising along and suddenly it hits a bubble or something or the pressure is out of bounds so the TCU shuts it down. I never bothered to read the codes with my Carsoft.

Correction, Drove An '05 C230 Kompressor SS
Haven't had a single problem with the tranny or lack of power until today when leaving work.
I pulled out of the parking lot with no problems.
went 1/4mile to the end of the street and made a Left, The car moved about 20 feet and then acted like it was in neutral while revving to 3k RPM.
I put the car in Park real quick, then put it back in Drive.
The car now ran but felt like it had half the power and I couldn't feel it changing gears.
I drove about a Mile down the road, pulled into a parking lot and shut the car off for a minute.
Started it back up, put it in drive, And no more issues.
I got home after a 15 mile drive with no issues, parked it in the garage and popped the hood.
nothing looks out of sorts, No burning smells, and absolutely no CELs.
does this sound like a fluid level issue?
I guess I'll baby it until Wednesday and take it to the Mechanics in the AM.
