Transmission problem
1992 Mercedes Benz 190e 4 cyl Manual 70000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am about to buy a 190e manual. It drives very well and the gear changes are fine but it is very difficult to find reverse. (The wife has to use two hands)
Does this signify a potential problem (not with the wife)

Hi there,

These are normally a very reliable gear box, are you also finding it hard to select reverse? our just your wife? it may just be a feel thing, trouble is these things need to be experienced be for an opinion can be made, so i would see if you can get a mechanic to have a quick feel of the selectors and see what he thinks.
