2008 c63 gearbox fault
Hi all, I have 2008 c63 with 112k miles. Recently I've had a repeated issue with the gearbox when come off the accelerator rolling to a stop and get back on it lightly there is a noticeable jerk/thud when getting back on power.
Also few times after a heavy clunk it stopped displaying which gear it is in (PDRN) and goes into a what I can say is a limp mode. Once I turn off/on its fine again...
not sure if it's linked but also sometimes there is a vibration/rocking coming when engine is idling and I feel like it's getting worse.
I can't be a only one experiencing this issue after all these years.
Many thanks

Yes and the rocking/missing issue is intermittent to me. I can't seem to spot a pattern. I've heard people say this is sign of bad engine mounts but then you'd think it would be constant.

you'll want to do the basics...full transmission service if not done in a very long time and possible replacement of engine and transmission mounts. if both of those are confirmed to be in great working order, you'll then have a list of other things to review.

That issue could be caused by low fluid level. Had the same clunking issue with my 2008 c63 without the gear display being reset. On deceleration, application of light throttle would cause it to clunk like I just ran over a cinderblock. I put the upgraded pan+ filter on as well as flushing fluid out the return line of the transmission. After it drove good as new.

The pump I used was a 6L fluid pump from motive. You can get it on amazon or their website.
you need to get an adapter for the 722.9 drain plug to attach the 1/2 inch line. There are many on amazon/ebay.
