Sorry I think I should have been more specific the car does shift from 1st 2 second but I never feel it shift after second. I got it up to 80 pressing the pedal gradually (acceleration feels normal then but still no 3rd) but never felt it shift out of 2nd and engine was racing. If I floor it forget it rpms race and goes slow. Does limp mode makes the car start out stay in 2nd, or start at first hits second and stays?

your CLK is what year model?

if 722 transmission, the emergency mode stays on 2nd gear and only that gear and reverse will work.
