Hi all,
I was just curious if my car was supposed to do this, or if something is wrong. It doesn't sound normal to me though. The car in question is a 1982 euro 500SL. If I have the gas pedal floored while the car is in second gear, when the car reaches redline, it doesn't just shift to third. The rev-limiter or something engages and it will just hang in second gear until I let up on the gas a little. Does anyone else's car do this? I've never driven another SL, so I have no basis for comparison. Thanks.
