@@michaeljones633 Excess fluid should have dripped out of the fill hole, and should not cause it to jerk. It almost sounds like there isn't enough fluid, or one of the empty or fill bolts was not tightened. Are you able to see if it's leaking? Scanning the code would provide the most accurate information as the issue may be from something else.

Do you manually shift your Smart Fortwo for better performance instead of using the auto clutch? If so, how do you find getting used to it's type of manual gearing as opposed to a regular clutch manual transmission? Also, do you switch gears when the arrow on the dash tells you or do you just get a feel for it by the revs and sound like you normally would do? I'm about to try it for the first time, not having driven a standard in years. My car has no tachometer on the dash.
@ColinLeung
3 жыл бұрын
I did a mix of auto and manual shifting depending on where I was driving. I left it on auto when I felt lazy to shift in the city and highway. It felt different than a manual because you cannot control how long or smooth the clutch engages without a clutch pedal. I shifted based on the sound of the engine. I did add an obd 2 scanguage that told me the rpms, but ended up not using it often.

Back of the owners manual a hand written note says oil and filter was changed in march of 2015. It's got 77K miles on it so I'm thinking I need to just change everything I can maintenance wise. I subbed because you have a current active Smart Car channel and hopefully I can pick your brain if I have trouble with this stuff. LOL Thanks.
