Hello everyone, my names josh and I own a 2011 smart fortwo brabus tailor made. Love these little cars they are great daily drivers. But recently I've had a problem with 1st gear 

when I move the car off fast to merge into a gap the car comes out of 1st the revs shoot up and then it goes into second and the car wants to shoot off very aggressively then the car has no power and traction control light is constantly on (not engine light) and I have no idea what could be causing this, has anyone else had this problem? Thanks In advance for any help.

Welcome to the club.  No turbo 451s made it to Canada.  Could be a clutch actuator or clutch issue.  If you can have the car scanned for faults by a STAR machine or equivalent, that would be a good place to start.
