NightWind 4th Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 huh? I thought Mercedes 4matic is AWD....its Mercedes version of Quottro in Audi??? I don't think they produce 4 speed gearbox la...lol My W212 though 4matic, is still running strong. Then again, 4 speed is too rough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiyotakamli Supersonic July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 Would be 8 speed better than 7G? Like new 520i or new A8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisces69 6th Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 S'pore traffic too many stop & go,high stress on gearbox,in Germany,these gearbox can easily last 200kkm. Also most of the mechanics in Germany r much much better than the clowns we have in SG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 not all auto GB built the same.what is there to svc auto GB every 20k km? Drain n fill fresh ATF is good every 20-30k km fr an autobox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic July 6, 2013 Share July 6, 2013 (edited) Drain n fill fresh ATF is good every 20-30k km fr an autobox. The problem is, many ang moh chias still think their GB damn good, ATF sealed for lifetime; no need to change ATF. Most Ang Moh Chias tor kor will just simply refuse to change ATF for you even if you beg them to. You go outside w/s, dunno what mickey mouse ATF they will use (use CVT ATF on torque convertor GB and vice versa, and so on.... Some even put engine oil Edited July 6, 2013 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some even put engine oil Ya last time BMW also autobox was sealed n cannot service. If old u just overhaul. The reason is manufacturer scared some ws anyhow put wrong atf n damage the autobox. They factory fill with good synthetic atf n it might even last fr 10 yrs till scrap. But the problem is sometimes the autobox is stressed too much n it wil fail prematurely. Now ang mo car also can change atf in the autobox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelcy1963 1st Gear July 26, 2013 Share July 26, 2013 Mine is korean made and sealed too. Drove for 50k and gear becomes slightly jerky. Change the ATF (only partial instead of full as can drain partial only) and then it went away. Now at 80km, feel a bit jerky again. Probably need to change again. I consider Singapore roads as "severe condition" due to jams everwhere for large % of regular drivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozrims 2nd Gear May 11, 2016 Share May 11, 2016 (edited) Back to this 7gtronic plus, it's world apart from the 5 speed and it's a gem to drive. The car accelerates smooth and fast with this 7 speed. Take the 7gtronic plus if you are looking for a Mercedes-Benz. Any bros have idea when the 7gtronics plus was introduce to replace the 7gtronics?

Keithchue 5th Gear May 12, 2016 Share May 12, 2016 if 7G tronics is not good, try VW ones... beat the shit out of any GB in the market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged May 12, 2016 Share May 12, 2016 Any bros have idea when the 7gtronics plus was introduce to replace the 7gtronics? TIA I test drove the AMG A45. the change was slow and sometimes the car was unsure. Probably need a gearbox reboot of sort. But its quite indecisive ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
