Only time will tell.

And technically mrobin, the gears are already meshed together, but the clutches, splines, and gear teeth are put through an incredible amount of stress at that instant. Yes, transmission are designed to withstand neutral drops, parking slams, etc, but you don't really want to find out how many it takes to break it.....

Having been a transmission engineer, I will tell you right now that it's the most fragile and precise component in the entire vehicle.

Ok well deffinitely not gonna do that again.. thank you for the advice and information.

Mark.D

Probably. And you thought $900 to fix the steering wheel was expensive As a general rule of thumb: Mercedes components are expensive. AMG components are extremely expensive. Welcome to the club!

MBfinatic

so ur telling me its prolly damaged? I know they are expensive and thats why im worried..

91RS

There's no way to really know. Just keep driving it like normal.

Mark.D

How would I actually know if the car was damaged?

Yes, the car cost $60,000 originally. Just because you bought it for $17,000 doesn't mean its going to cost the same as a $17,000 car to fix. You got a grown *** car, and with it, comes some grown *** bills

Ok well im already taking it to the shop tomorow for some other stuff. Is it easy to check is there is something wrong?

Mark.D

Its as easy to check...all you have to do is write the check and they'll do some checking, thats for sure

Ok ok, I'll stop. Its more than likely OK. But your a moron and a punk to treat a car with a $60,000 + replacement value like that.

Realize that a high performance German car isn't something you can just put oil in and expect to run for another 60k miles. Things break, and on these cars, they cost big bucks to fix. Just wait until you have your first Service A. Full synthetic... a $250.00 oil change. And then Service B... a $450.00 oil change and alignment. Just make sure the things that matter get fixed (drivetrain), and then start saving for the things you WANT to get fixed (6-disk changer, seat heaters, everything electrical).

Look I admit I did something stupid but I dont appreciate you coming in my thread and lecturing me and name calling.

Mark.D

Sorry about that. "I'm sure the car is fine." Thats what you want to hear, right?

If you don't want a lecture, then don't make posts asking if your transmission and (hand-built) engine are broken after you rape it going 60.

LawRens

Ignore the trolls brah. Learn from your mistakes, and move on, which is exactly what you're doing. Enjoy your AMG, treat her right and she'll return the favor. Are you daily driving it??

MBfinatic

No thats not want I want to hear.. I simply wanted someone kind to answer my question..

Maybe you shouldnt post in my thread anymore. I made a mistake and I simply asked about what was wrong and for someone who knew more about it to explain it. I thought this forum was about kindness and giving advice.. Not about being an *** and trying to rub it in my face that I made a mistake.

thank you. Yes I did learn from my dum mistake. I will be driving it daily very soon . The car is great so far.

MIKESV8

it's okay, i blew up the engine in my bmw x5 4.4i and i think everything else that has to do with the engine. repairs were $8,000 but i was 16 at the time.

MBfinatic

jbenz2001

Ultra Stone
