• Mercedes Benz E-Class W210 (1995 - 2002) - '00 E430 Automatic Gearbox Won't Respond 21 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  My Father's 2000X Mercedes E430 has an intermittent problem with the automatic gearbox. One of two things happens. Either: 1. The gearbox goes into neutral while driving (usually on acceleration), and refuses to go back into gear. or 2. The gearbox gets stuck in one gear and will not change either automatically or by overriding with the tiptronic function.

  When I had a vehicle with a manual gearbox if it stopped and I put it into a low gear and pressed the starter/ignition I could move it forward on the ignition.  Handy to get it off the road onto the verge on breakdown.
