mercedes clk 320
alastair kirk

I have a mercedes clk 320 year 2002. The glyco has leaked into the transmission. MB Bath England have charged me £2300 to change the torque converter, which did not cure the fault. They returned the car to me with gear selection issues and told me not to drive it as I would cause more damage. I am currently taking them to court.
Any advice comments would be welcome.

What happens is the glycol (in the colonies we know what glycol is) invades the transmission, it attacks the clutch materials, soften them and eventually deposits the material in the pan. This is a simplistic answer but valid for its purpose. There is clutch material in a torque converter (lock up type - which most torque converters are today) so changing the converter is valid but not a complete cure.
