what software do I need to program the gear changes like you did?

[@flitsies]

Yep the clutch actuator is a pain but if you regularly grease it up it isn't that bad, I have also discovered by putting some tension on the actuator I found the gears engage better.

[@fernandocuevas8123]

Hi¡ how did you do the tension? You mean move ir forward to the clutch? I will do that today, thanks

Hello, I have a mitsubishi colt, recently I changed the clutch, everything is ok, while I'm driving, when the gearbox changes from gear 2 to gear 3, there is a noise like a crack and then it goes into gear, do you have any idea what it could be? possible to be from the actuator? Thanks a lot

[@kurtbaron2119]

I see some guys have the car in neutral or reverse before disconnecting negative. or am I good in park since i cant pull the keys out if i have it in neutral

interesting video for my by I changed my actuator but I still have the light of the box flashing and of key on the dashboard do you have an idea to erase all that

[@y24ped]

Hi Rick, brilliant video. Quick question, did you get a genuine Smart/Merc part or an after market one? Thanks

[@Rick_Motorsport]

Hi, I got it from Amozon, it's an aftermarket part. The link is in the description. Cheers

Is the clutch actuator from Amazon reilable?

What computer do you use

Can you help me if just manual gear working but no automatic? Smart city-cabriolet car

[@epicsseven7686]

I have the same issue where it won't go in reverse. But it drives. My BlueDriver code reader gave me a code 7053e. Beneath that it shows TCM: actuator stuck. That lead me to this video. At the KIA car dealer waiting to get it fixed.

[@siswantoro5150]

Did you actuated clutch actuator after install the new one?

[@youelk685]

Hi mate. is it possible to rester the gearbox if the clutch actuator is dead? when i try to relearn clutch position nothing happen. And it wont learn the gearbox. Thnks u

[@courtneymullis90]

Could this cause the transmission light come on?

[@Wild-Storm]

Quality video mate. Had the same problem with my car, only to find out it was the actuator. Whats the point of hiding back plate and then to discover the reg while getting into the garage? 🤷‍♂️

[@gabrieldumea5534]

Hi,where are you located please

[@kazikaz7252]

Thanks for the video, can we just change the clutch actuator without any computer and make it work? Or do we must have a computer ? Thanks in advance

[@Rick_Motorsport]

No you don't need a computer, just make sure before removing the old actuator, you mark it. so when installing the new one you put it on the same position.

[@cobra1846]

how do i get rid of Three dashes flash in the instrument panel . Smart car 2004

[@cmnightfaces]

Emergency break on, car in nutrial, disconnect positive cable, wait 30 + minutes, reconnect positive cable, turn key first key start position or first key turn (not the run position yet), you will hear the transmission conditioning itself for a minute, the move the shift through all the gear about two times D, N, R, N,D, N, R, P. Now turn the car key all the way to run. This should get ride of the 3 bars of death and will reset and can reset when the gear symbols start blinking. Mind start blinking when I reverse the car every now and then.

[@simsneon2]

Tell us more about the gearbox learning part

[@Rick_Motorsport]

The gearbox learning process is mostly done when the clutch is replaced and its easily done with a computer! If you're just changing the clutch actuator you don't need to do the gearbox learning, but if you have a computer and you wanna do it, just go on transmission/special functions & gearbox learning and the computer will do the rest.

[@javiervillarrealjr.4149]

@@Rick_Motorsport what software was installed on the computer?

[@anthonydaniel2040]

! NICE !

[@geraldgonzalez975]

Hey man i have a problem with my smart fortwo 2008 when i insert the key and tried to start it the 3 bar symbol came out III horizontal. do you know what could be?? I did the thing to move the gear from P to D and started it again nothing happened. It will be so helpful if yoy know something. thanks man

[@Rick_Motorsport]

How's it going bro, I'm sorry I don't know what it could be. If you bring the car to me, I can diagnose it for you. Cheers

[@huntmatthewd]

Press and hold the brake. Turn the key to on, but don't start the car. Keep the brake on and you will hear the transmission learning the gears. It takes a few seconds to a minute to reset the thing.

[@alekshandralves4893]

Sometimes its dont need repleacment just good oil most of cases its dirty and dry and wont work stuck

[@epicsseven7686]

That's what I saw on another video too. The boot sometimes needs lubricated.

@@alekshandralves4893 I agree. But on the dual clutch, it's different.

Hello @Rick Motorsport, Hello friends, please i need help, I just bought a 2007 Smart 451 Diesel, When I start it there is the yellow engine light that stays on (1 time out of 5), On the other hand, when it stays on, the car apparently goes into Safe mode (Security) and therefore no function works, nor the change of gears, nor acceleration. I decided to change the actuator (the speed actuator) I bought a cheap one on Cdiscount without brand, Apparently it does not come from there, I changed the gearbox computer, it does not come from that either, I carried out a Mercedes diagnosis at a Smart Mercedes specialist in Marseille, the gearbox update etc. ... failed and the faults that come out are: P0805 “Clutch System Fault” (current in memory) P1700 "Resisting torque at gearbox input (current in memory) P1800 "Implausible gearbox data (current and stored event). Something else, The car sometimes starts cold and stops like it doesn't have enough power, so I cleaned the EGR valve, put it back in and it wouldn't start, I had to redo it started with a start pilot spray can, Then it worked normally, but yesterday it went out again when I started (cold engine), infact sometimes I have to accelerate a little so that it stays started (but only when cold on the first start) I should mention that I changed the glow plugs too. Anyway, my real problem is that famous yellow engine light that prevents me from driving when starting, I also specify that the Diagnostics guy, to find a method so that the light goes out when it is on just to drive, he plays with the gearbox by switching to R, N, D, 1 quickly several times in a row, and when he does this the light disappears, the engine speed changes (we feel like a slight acceleration), and then, once the yellow engine light is off, I can drive... Please help me, because I'm afraid to change the clutch unnecessarily, especially since the car is only 60,000 kilometers old. Thanks very much.

Rick, where are you from? I saw a Texas license plate in the back ground I too have the same exact problem with my 2009 Smart Car…. Asking if you needed to do any computer programming at all after you installed the new actuator or did the gear learn on their own? asking because I don’t have a computer to program the smart car

[@Rick_Motorsport]

Hi Buddy, I'm from London. You don't need a computer to change the clutch actuator, just make sure before removing the old one you mark it so when installing the new one, it stays in the same position. If you want to do the gears learning process then you need a computer.

If you want to do the gears learning procedure, you need a computer. Just go into transmission and follow the steps.

Got the same problem on my wifes car! Arggg

[@darina3574]

I have smart car 2008. It wasn't going into gear. I took it to Mercedes dealership they fix a clutch motor. I brought it home, drove once and it wouldn't start. I took it to a local mechanic who said now it have electrical issues. I only have 45'000 miles on it and so many issues. This car sucks!

[@michaelsuzio4364]

I just started having electrical issues on mine at 190k

thats on a manual yes

[@lynnemumabrower3723]

Replaced the clutch actuator spent over a thousand and the dumb car still does the same thing. I love it but can't depend on it. Chatters when backing up. Sticks in gear after the engine gets hot and have to fiddle around to get it to go Vibrates all the time. time to replace the ac squirrel cage fan again not the motor just the fan gets dirty and makes noise. I will also replace the cabin filter as it has been a couple of years since I replaced it. The Mercedes dealer is a long way from my house and It is hard to find someone to work on it. It is a shame I have had so much fun driving it passing others AT 80 on the turnpike. NEVER MET A PERSON WHO DID NOT WANT TO ASK ME ABOUT IT. MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS....
