yellowperil Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If you have to press the brake to get it to go in gear it may be the sensor switch on the brake pedal or system. Hit the brake a few times without it running and then try. ---------- Post added 22-10-2016 at 17:01 ---------- Aparently these are manual gearboxes that are controlled electronically so as to act like an auto. A quick check on google shows that the electronic controls can be a problem and unfortunately not cheap to sort out im sorry to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafya Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 My merc auto had a feature where if the red brake warning light came on the gear lever could not be moved out of N for safety reasons. There was a release button under the gear lever surround to release it so maybe it has a similar feature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
