    Hello, I have been in touch with a Foxwell sales rep, and they said the NT530 can do clutch slip adaption. Is there anyone that can confirm this? Thank you!

    I have a 2011 Cabrio Passion. The car has some issues with the clutch/transmission. My research on this forum shows it may be the clutch actuator. Does anyone have a mechanic in the St Petersburg area to work on this? Thank you.

    Hi SCoA friends. I recently bought a 2016 gas-fueled automatic passion and noticed that the car makes weird knocking / crunching sounds as I decelerate, right before the vehicle comes to a stop. Perhaps as the vehicle goes from gear 2 to 1. (For those of you that have ever lived up north, it...

    2016 Gas 9000 miles engine oil leak. The leak is right where the engine and transmission are bolted together. Has anyone ever had this problem? Engine main seal leak ? Also, on SLOW acceleration the transmission feels like its chattering and not quite engaging the clutch all the way so the car...

    When I start my car and put it in reverse, you can hear and feel a loud clunk. It appears to be getting worse. Sometimes it's louder than other times. I hear this even after waiting for the exhaust fan to turn off. I noticed that if I've been driving the car for a while it doesn't do it. So I've...

    Hi all, I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while now and have had a lot of success treating various issues on my smart up until this point. As the title says, my '08 Passion 451 has had a transmission issue which has only become exceedingly apparent until recently - meaning it may...

    Anyone install a short throw shifter in a 453? If so, where did you buy it and do you like it?
  8. smart Operation and Maintenance
    Hello, I got p0805 (clutch actuator fault) and I bought a new one from ebay. At first, neither moved. Then I fiddled with the connector and broke the locks. Also broke the tiny rubber boots that protect the terminals from water. Afterwards, actuation was successful (I'm using mb star)...

    My 2009 SMART Passion ForTwo will not drive and is experiencing a really strange behavior. What happens is that I start the car, and while it's in park and idling, it will disengage the clutch just until it slightly lugs forward like an inch... then stop pretty much as soon as it's detecting...

    Backround Info: Purchased this car 2 years ago with 60k on the odometer, it now has 112k. As far as I know the clutch itself has never been replaced. After a couple months of normal driving one day after a nice highway cruise, the car would not go into gear and got the three lines on the dash. I...

    I've only had my smart for a few days. And I'm very curious - has anyone mastered getting a quick start, from a stop, up to normal driving speeds - SMOOTHLY?? Like, where somebody looking at the car from outside would barely notice the smart changing gears? The skill or capability has so far...
  13. smart Operation and Maintenance
    I’ve had my car for six months and it has 7,400 miles on it. When I drive it around town in stop-and-go traffic or coast through parking lots, my car sometimes seems to get stuck in between first and second gear. It gets very jerky. It’s like riding in a manual transmission car with someone...

    Well, after 9 months of dealing with intermittent reverse problems, and two dealerships (neither one where I bought it) unable to replicate, I found the posts on this site about the clutch problems in some 2008 builds. 2 weeks before warranty was out, I went back to my local dealer for the...

    I just had my red 08 cabrio in for its 20K servicing last week, but last night I had an unpleasant situation happen with the transmission. I was on my way to meet some folks and running just about on time, but I stopped to get a Diet Coke at a convenience store and set up my GPS for the last...
