I have a problem with the automatic gearbox on my '04 Sprinter 316.
When the vehicle approaches 40mph and on through to 50mph there is a judder when I apply the gas pedal but goes away when I take my foot off. It's like its gaining/loosing power. It's especially noticable going up an incline or hill. After 50mph it goes away. There is no difference if the van is loaded or empty
I have had it looked at by a local garage that services the local community MB buses and also out local main Mercedes commercial service dept. None has heard of the problem nor could they detect anything on their box'o'trix.
I read on a Sprinter forum that a small bush in the auto gearbox is the problem and that it is cheaper to strip the gearbox than to replace it. But without identifying which or what one it is I'm not happy going to the garage and asking them to take it apart!
Have any of you 'fun guys had this problem or know of it and have a solution?
Looking forward to your comments :Sad:
