Could anyone there help me out. I recently bought a MB C240 4matic, I was using it quite ok. I came to realize that sometimes the gear will stuck on the 3rd, without changing transmission. I have to switch it off completely, and on again before it works normally again. I took it to the mechanic which he recommend a flush out of the gearbox and a change of the filter and a new transmission oil, which I did. The problem still persist up till now. This is a car I bought and starting to love. And now this. Pls someone should help recommend what next to do. Thanks.

Merc with gear issues, If you had a star scanner that would have been the best bet for such gear issue, if your oil is gauged well.

However , the problem may be electrically related 90% of the times; things like the TCM (transmission control module) under your dash may start misbehaving. If you have a spare one just swap and see if the problems is resolved; it could even be your 3rd gear shifting solenoid or conductor plate or the electrical connector cable to the conductor plate. Things like this must be scanned first with the proper scanner before making any attempt, else you complicate issues.

I can't go beyond 60mph, my steering vibrates at that point until it gets down to 59mph. What could be the cause?

Secondly, I also noticed some sort of smoke which normally comes up once in a while, especially when I start the engine. On the long run it disappears as if nothing ever happened.
I met my mechanic and I explained the situation to him. So he said the valve seal is responsible.

Please I need your assistance on both issues.
Thank you.

Take the car to the pit go under it and physically examine the thyroid ends , centre thyroid and the stearing kits , use your hands to shake those bushings wella. you will definitely see the issue. Also, check your tires to make sure you dont have any bulge on any of them

As for the smokes that usually disappears check your exhaust to see if there is any place water leaks into it else take your mechanic advice.

Also, you may clean your combustion chamber thoroughly with the air filter and pvc, and observe it again if it does that.

The old w204 C63 sound the best and more rugged.

I expected the Lexus to do the oversteer donut too! Perhaps, there could have been a mechanical breakdown/ lost of control, reason why?

Those guys are expert like Dominic Toretto of FAST N FURIOUS...Probably he may have been warned not to try that with the Lexus(as such donut oversteer put a lot of strain on the cars chassis and drive train, perhaps the Lexus may not have survived it like others who were build for that. Remember she is just a Toyota mimicking the kings with built for luxury and manageable performances to get into the leak, so she better watch the kings do their thing.

The Lexus was faster than your 2020 Benzedes C63s and the other BMW in the video.

That not withstanding, this is a 1996 Toyota Supra flogging the same (I believe Benzedes C63) that was in the video.

Toyota cars are for work, comfort and rock-solid reliability. When they want to build cars for speed (Supra and Lexus LFA), hardly any cars catch up with them.

A massive V8. It's one of my dream cars.

After watching that video a few days ago, I immediately went to start calculating how much it'd cost. By my estimates, around 8m. Too expensive sadly.

Next best thing is a first-gen CLS550 but it looks outdated at this point, sadly.

There's no Aston in that video?

And Aston Martin doesn't even make sports cars? They make grand tourers.
