I have had the Merc for about a year now and put 15K mi on it with no problems. Thursday I am leaving a friends house and on medium acceleration it Slammed into second, causing the wheels to chirp. It only has a 2.0 and has never chirped. Sense then, it has been slamming into second hard. Once it is warm it softens up. No other gears do that.
Also, what RPM's should the 2.0 be running at 65mph? Mine is running between 2,700 & 3,000 RPM. Is this normal?
What is the verdict? Tranny rebuild?
Thanks,
Eric
