  • 999cc petrol won't engage gears.

    I have a very intermittent fault on the Smart. A couple of nights ago, when leaving friends, it would not engage any gears. Started fine and no warning lights. Put gear lever over to the right to engage reverse and "N" stayed on the dash. Same thing when I moved the gear lever to Drive. "N" stayed in the dash.

    I was parked on an uphill slope and after rolling back to flat ground both reverse and drive, engaged without problem. I drove back up the slope, went into neutral and then back into reverse and no problem.

    It appears that the angle of the car on the slope caused the problem. How is this possible.

    To add a bit of meat to the bones, the car is a 2008 LTD 2 and has flappy paddles.
