billr Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Call MB ask about Tranny software update. Might be the fix? Or clutch issue? You likely will not find anyone but MB to work on anything other than basic stuff. They need Star scanner system.

GlennWest Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well after lots of research I have decided to take it to Smart center in New Orleans. Disassembling the motor and cleaning doesn't seem to be a big job but a dirty one. Here at the rv resort that might not be kosher. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I messed with various starting procedures, in gear, etc and it went back to normal. Will drive it and see what happens. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolpsaddles Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I regularly spray lithium lubricant into the clutch actuator motor. Slide the boot of the shift pin and pray it into the area behind the boot as far a you can. Might help it from coming back. You can adjust the clutch motor or remove the clutch motor but you should then have it hooked up to a star machine to teach it the new engagement point. 2005 Western Star, MDE 4000 ,singled mid, 12' deck with Smart CarBison Stratus 3 horse with 16' short wall 12' slide out http://www.spottedhorsegallery.com/http://www.campingandhorses.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
