The shift link lubrication was the first repair job. I don't know if they used real grease, but It didn't work. The second repair replaced the clutch plate. I still occassionally experience the same problem. Sometimes, it won't go into any gear unti…

I live in Tequisquiapan in the state of Queretaro about 3 hrs from Mexico City. I drove here in May with my US bought Smart.

Andrew, what's the latest with your smart? Hopefully, all is well and she is on the road again.
Veronica replied to Francis PoWell's discussion 'smart fortwo transmission problem'
I am still experiencing the same problem after having the clutch plate replaced. Not as frequently, but I am also not driving as much. I have just over 10,000 miles and am worried that what happened at 20,000 to Andrew Claus will also be my fate. I…

Rebecca, It was not a coincidence that you had to put it in Drive before it would go into reverse. That is the only way I can get my 2008 to go into reverse when I experience this same problem I have had two major repair jobs to correct - including…

I think they replaced the clutch plate and it was okay for a few weeks, now I am experiencing the same problem again. Not everytime I try to go into reverse, but often.

In August, 2008 my wife and I drove from Mentor, Ohio to a forensic conference in Columbus, Ohio. We stopped along the way in Lodi at the Outlet Mall and did some shopping. From Columbus we drove to Vineland, New Jersey. We were visiting her parents…

Thanks for your info; my clutch has been replaced. SmartUsa informed me that because of my call to the 800 number, they have notified not only my dealer but every dealer of the problem and how to repair it. Without this forum, I would have not gotte…

I concure that the smart has just enough road feel to keep me alert and awake for long periods of time behind the wheel. The car is totally comfortable for long trips. I do not have cruise control or an armrest. The cruise might be nice but I have n…

I'm now in Australia, where both the smart, the roads, climate and driving conditions are different to the US.
Here I have driven from Cairns to to Townsville quite a few times in the smart pulse turbo. It's about 375 km (say a bit over 200 miles).…

Well, now you just answered my question, too! We live in London, Ontario, on the north side of Lake Erie and will be attending a Convention in June in Cleveland, Ohio on the south side of Lake Erie, about a 5 hour drive. I'm trying to talk hubby int…
