Transmission problems with my 2006 451

I will ask my dealership about the software version and also disconnect the battery. I am getting no lines in the gear shift display when this problem happens. What is a G&K Smart? When I took t…

I also have a 2006 diesel cabrio. (Brabus body and interior package added by former Montreal owner, 68,000 Kilometres total) The road feel and handling, as well as interior room on the 451 is inferior to the older model. The up-side of that is there…

I'm not sure of the differences, however I have an an extra brand new 2009 Pure with 47 miles and 5 year extended warrantee. It was only driven from the dealer to my house (New York City suburbs) last fall. I bought it for my son who ended up never…

Thanks for pointing this out Leroy. There is no mechanical link between the gear shifters (lever or steering wheel paddles) and the transmission. They are all electrical switches that ask (not tell) the contolling computers to please change gear. T…

The 450 cars do not have shift linkage for the transmission. If you spray into the shift linkage it will short it out. Leroy

Send some silicone spray down all the cracks and openings in the shift lever to first eliminate the possibility that the lever linkages are hanging.

Is your car a G&K smart? Has your car been updated to current software? A lot of the older smart cars have not been updated. Something you can try is to disconect the battery for a couple of minutes. Sometimes this will reset the ECU. Are you gettin…

How many gears does your smart have? 6 and it's a 450 model, not a 451... which has a 5 speed gearbox and was released in the USA in 2008. The 451 does have a rev limiter that cuts in about 5,500 rpm to prevent over-revving the engine. The USA mo…

Heater Slider Not Working
I have a 2008 Fortwo Passion Cabrio. I find that the heater core still puts out heat, even when the temp slider is pulled all the way downt to the cold setting. On a nice 5-degree C fall day, the cabin often gets unberably hot. Even in subzero weath…
