When I think of the proud German people I think of a nation looking ahead and moving forward, never backward - never backward. I wonder if some of that was engineered into the automatic transmission of my Mercedes-Benz 300E. From the day I bought it I've known that the transmission had problems and would have to be replaced sometime down the line. Well that time has come. While parking recently I flipped it into reverse..... and nothing. It shuddered, it shook, but it would not go backwards. It's like it's in neutral. On flat ground it will slowly creep backwards but apply any gas and it just revs without any acceleration. Clearly some clutch pack in there is toast and it will need a rebuild. That can't be cheap.
