Manual Transmission Bogging?
I have an SLK 350 which I bought with 5,000 miles on it. Since I've had it, the car has "bogged" during acceleration at 2,900 rpm or so...usually easily felt in first through third gear. It always does it, and is easy to reproduce, but I'm afraid to take it in without having some idea about what might be the problem.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be causing it?

Thanks,
Shawn
