A manual transmission may not shift when the engine is running due to several reasons, including a malfunctioning clutch, low Transmission Fluid, or a damaged linkage. If the clutch isn't fully engaging or disengaging, it can prevent the gears from shifting smoothly. Additionally, if there are issues with the synchronizers within the transmission, this can also cause difficulty in changing gears. It's essential to diagnose the issue properly to avoid further damage.

To fill the transmission fluid in a 2000 Mercedes CLK, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine, and pull it out. Using a funnel, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the correct level, which should be checked with the engine running and the transmission in park. Always consult the owner’s manual for the specific fluid type and capacity.
An autimatic transmission will have a 4 speed transmission and a manual transmission will have a 5 speed transmission.
