Mercedes S Class Transmission - honestjohn
Had complaints about severs judder on start off and thumping changes between 1st and 2nd on current shape S Class models built late 1998 through 1999. Can anyone shed any more light on this, particularly Andrew Bairsto in Dresden. Apparently the box was modified for 2000 model year and the problem then disappeared. Have driven a car with the fault and confirmed that it does exist.
