Burnout throwing gearbox out
Hi lads,
Have a 13 E63 AMG M157 engine RWD. On the weekend, i tried to do a standstill burnout for my mates wedding. Had ESP fully off and in manual mode.
every time the burnout would start and the shift into second would about to initiate the gearbox gear indicator on the cluster disappears and I have no more gear. Can't select any gear including reverse unless I turn the car off and on again.
tried doing a burnout twice and kept throwing the car out of gear.
im not sure if its the MCT transmissions not liking it, or I must be doing something wrong.
have anyone experienced this?
