The smart car is an AMT transmission (automated manual transmission). If the clutch is worn, it will trip the sensor and you’ll have to change the clutch.
In this case, it was just bad connection on the coupler actuator. What I really needed is a jack, so I can get under there and clean it properly and spray it down with Deox-it.

I'm not sure if the ECM has the ability to tell if the clutch is worn. I'd imagine you'd just get horrible shifting. I would have to check ALLDATA for theory of operation and available sensors for that. I have not come across that issue. Thanks for watching my friend. Stay tuned for more repair videos.
I could be lots of things. Mechanical, or electrical. You just never know with those cars. If you can pull a code from it, I can point you in a direction, but without being there it's kind of hard to say. Text me back if you can pull a code and I'll look it up. Thanks for watching.
I think you should get out from under a rock because as an American you only think that cars have to be BIG and use a lot of gas/diesel, small cars like this are common in Europe as they use little fuel and are ideal for the city, they are Small yes, but that's the idea. You don't need a Chevrolet Silverado to go to work every day and use 5 times more fuel and not find a place to park. You should use your head more and not your stomach.
I wasn't saying anything bad about the car. I actually like it. I love how fuel efficient it is. It may not be an ideal car to get into an accident in, but I absolutely love the fuel economy. It brings the travel cost down and the emissions.

Thank you very much. It helps to have ALLDATA. Without that, I couldn't look up schematic diagrams and fix cars efficiently. It's $200 a month for a full subscription but there's also a DIY subscription for a lost less. You can pay for specific cars for much less. Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate you watching. Hopefully you'll be watching the next one. I'll see ya then. Thanks for watching. You're helping the channel. I have 55 subscribers as of this reply. Hopefully I'll have many more.
Smart ForTwo 451 superb definitely not a "little electric car". Most Europeans up to about 6ft 6" can fit comfortably fit with no issue. Once you adjusted the seat you seemed to fit ok. Outside the USA we try not to destroy the planet by using huge gas guzzling cars as we prefer economical cars. These computerised actuated manual gearboxes are a bit finicky but this is a common fault on this car. Good logical fix from a position of inexperience shows your mechanical fault finding skills. Well done! ❤

My smart sometimes wont go on reverse especially on hills, but drive and neutral works fine, what could it be?

Your awesome I have a smart car myself but your awesome for even figuring that out
