 1986 560sl mercedes benz roadster. i had the transmission totaly overhauled. when i got it back it seemed to slightly spip as it shifted thru the gears. the mechanic said that the transmission was settling back into the car. what ever that is supposed to mean i don't iknow. so i'm driving and all of a sudden i loose drive. it was as if drive splipped into neutral. i didn't have drive at all. i had to down shift into 3rd and drive it home. i didn't hear anything break or pop. now it has to come back out and redone. what happened.

Sounds like it just wasn't done right the first time. That "settling in" stuff was nonsense.

The shop that did it should fix that for nothing cause it sounds like it's there falt.

Just a comment on serious car work: A tech should test it out before even telling you it's done. Maybe they did and it behaved but that and brake work type things I think should be given a test drive so it's known right before customer gets car back. That problem happened so fast they should have caught it right away,
