Smart MC01 Cabrio Gasoline – 2002 Speed too high?

Good day dear forum, I bought a used Smart just under 1 1/2 months ago. Since it is my first Smart I have 0 knowledge about the Smart. Yesterday I was with my girlfriend in the Smart. She also has one. She noticed that my Smart switches very late (from gear 1 to gear 2 it switches only at approx. 3000 turns – sometimes it also jumps to 3500 when driving well). In addition, you can feel it extremely when it turns up. It makes a Rucka This morning I drove the Smart into a workshop to have it tested. The Master told me that there was no hose on the engine. Afterwards, the response to the gas improved noticeably. At the speed did not change much, although the Master said all this was dense and nicely greased. On the Internet I also found a guide on how to reset the memory of the gearbox. 1. Key to position 2 (ni 2. print gas pedal to the bottom and hold 5 sec. (Kick down position) 3. Key to 0 “off” position (key does not pull away), release gas pedal. 4. 2 min. wait until the system is reset. Still didn’t help me after several attempts. Does this guide work at all with my model? Or did I do something wrong. I look forward to every helpful answer Thank you in advance! LG
