Mercedes 2-3 shift flare

I don't know if MB uses the same 5spd transmission but I found the have a spring kit to fix a 2nd to 3rd shift flare.

I'm pretty sure that they use a different transmission, but it is intersting that they have a fix. We have an '01 C320 and have never experienced even a hint of shift flare. It has always been very smooth under all forms of acceleration.

Now their electronics ... that's an entirely different matter. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif
