I am a mechanic at a Chrysler dealership and am working on a 2004 Crossfire with a 3.2 6 speed manual. This is the same as a CLK drivetrain. The trans pops out of 1st gear when pulling away from stop. The shift linkage adjustment and motor mounts look fine. Are there any MB techs out there that have had this problem with this transmission? Are there any MB service bulletins that apply? Chrysler tech support is of no help an the local MB dealership won't help. It acts like there is too much end play causing the geartrain to move and jump out of gear. I would like some guidance on what to look for before taking it out. And of course, I need this info ASAP.
