What's up fellas, it's been awhile since I've been here. But it seems like I'm having a major problem right now. The check engine light is on my '03 C32 and the car won't move at all.

I started experiencing this yesterday when I went to the gym, it was hot here in Birmingham, AL. So I figured it just need to cool off. I was able to drive it off last night until this afternoon where I got stuck in the middle of the road and have to push my car to a parking lot.

Here's what I know of the symptoms so far, and yes, I've search but no specific that I can find.

- Check Engine Light on but car won't move
- Before the car completely dies earlier, I can hear a grinding noise
- I check on all my pulleys since I have the Eurocharged 185mm pulley set and they seem to be all working fine.

Any help would be appreciated since I'm gonna have to get this towed and I'm out of warranty

So the engine still runs right? You still can rev, but when you put it in drive, it won't move (at all gears even reverse) right?

It sounds like big problem if that is the case. However, a $30 scanner at Kragen or any auto part store would tell you more. Get a scanner to read out the codes.

need more details on the symptoms...

Can you start the car?
Can you shift into gear?

what is the error code?

^^^This. Engine still runs, I can still rev but when I put in drive or reverse it won't move (at all gears).

Noted, I will get a scanner today and read out the codes. Car showing No malfunction on the screen.

Also another thing to add, I saw a cloud of dust yesterday like something burnt out, could I possibly burntout the clutch? As I read in another thread this can happen?

Transmission failure is my guess. Maybe an issue with the flywheel or the rear diff? I've heard of the rear diffs going out on these things with similar symptoms. Maybe its time for a limited slip diff upgrade.

Ballpark how much will this cost me? Just a figure to give me an idea.

http://www.eurocharged.com/index.php...mart&Itemid=61 - $1600 for a Limited Slip Diff.

I'm afraid to even look at what dealership prices would be on replacing the OEM part.

Ok had the diagnostics done at the local MB $tealership and here's what they found out:

- Sandy grit particles on tranny fluid when they checked the pan.
- When car in park, car will roll. I already know this already.
- Clutch plates are gone, need to be replaced.
- Torque Converter is gone and need to be replaced.

What they quote me $7100 + tax

Of course I'm not gonna get it worked on by them just have them run the diagnostics.

Can I take this car to a transmission shop and have these worked on? I will have to shop around for prices to get my car fix from a reputable tranny shop.

Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated. Also how much should I be expecting? $7100 is way too steep for my pocket at the stealership.

If I am buying the parts online which website?

Thanks for all who helps and respond.

I remember that renntech does rebuilds/upgrades and I thought it was close to 2500

I've done some more digging and found out about europeantransmissions which is near Birmingham, AL (in Cumming, GA). I will give them a call after I get my car back from the MB Shop.

I saw their price for a remanufactured 722.6 torque converter for $365.

Also, what are clutch plates? Any other terms they also go by?
