Hey guys,

Trying to help a friend out with a car.

98 c280 with 59k - he just bought it it was the "theoretical" old lady's car - not a mark in the leather, nothing.

So at part throttle it drives pretty much perfectly at least at in town speeds.

When you bury the throttle, it bogs and revs to 4 grand and sits there, like it doesnt want to shift or it's in the wrong gear... You can barely get the car to 60 it feels like you have to fight the trans.

Car idles perfectly, and has NOT thrown a CEL yet....

Drives perfect at part throttle. Just will NOT accelerate at speed.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

George
