Missing 7th gear?

Hi Everyone

I've got the 350 clk. it's from 2006, so I should have the 7 speed gear box right?

When I use the manual gear shift function, my gears only go from 1 to 6. If I push it again, it goes back into D.

Does this match up with what is supposed to happen? Am I missing a 7th forward gear or am I just confused? (ok I'm always confused in general hehe).

Thanks.

Tim.

Nah, you're good. The way our gearboxes work is that the gear selection really only determines the upper bound of gear selection. ie: 1 (1st gear), 2 (1st-2nd gear), ..., 6(1st-6th gear), D(1st-7th gear aka fully automatic Drive).

Hope that clears things up!
