m-Benz E-Class W210 - Automatic transmission feels like slipping clutch - mondeoman2013

Hi,

I am running a 1999 bangernomics merc e300 auto.

When I accelerate going uphill the revs increase and there is a delay before gaining speed and the revs dropping.

I am used to driving manuals not autos and it feels bit like when the clutch on a manual is on its way out.

Any ideas what may be happening ?

Thanks

I would think the first step is to check the trans fluid level,however you may find there is a dipstick tube but no dipstick.Take it to a Merc specialist that has the workshop dipstick.
