feels like you are pulling away faster at the lights when you make it jerk with a super quick gear change from first to second. |

Was told by a BMW tech once that anything 3.0l or above should be auto as there's so much gear changing necessary, which is especially true with the more recent 7 and 8 speed gearboxes. Rob, Mercs used to be famed for crap manual gearboxes though I'm not sure that is still the case, they definitely hardly make any manuals in comparison to autos -merc factory builds will often upgrade certain things on orders for free if it keeps the production line going. eg. I speciesd flat black paint on my merc to save some dough and it landed with metallic -I was told it probably would when I put the order in. They also quite often send out motors with an auto box in when a manual is ordered by a customer, though I reckon that will be less likely to happen with a cheap as chips finance order than going in through a merc dealer and paying through the nose. |
