my '86 300sdl is running great, especially now that all four tires match...but the tranny acted up the other day and i'm looking for ideas...
it ran very well for 200 miles at highway speeds, then when we pulled off, stopped, and tried to start up, it hesitated(rpm's went up) and then thunked into gear... then the next time after 6 hours of highway driving, stopped, and wouldn't go (just rpm's rising) in drive and 3rd...but it would take off in 2nd and then everything worked...so i ck'd the fluid and added about a cup...all things working again, almost while pushing hard on accelerator, everything works smooth and goes up thru the gears...but as i coast in town, sometimes it shifts down with a bit of a bump or thump...and likewise if i add pressure on the accelerator a bit...seems not as smooth as it should be... any ideas? thanx john From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 07 16:48:26 2006 Received: from smtpauth08.mail.atl.earthlink.net ([209.86.89.68]) by server5.arterytc5.net with esmtp (Exim 4.52) id 1FGfMI-0004Dv-Fa for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 07 Mar 2006 16:48:26 +0000 DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=dk20050327; d=earthlink.net; b=oj2jBHrpwXC0Dpnb/HGkOXb0iISYe6sWaL+k0NLK0Tg4FK0VPv9yZRv2i9p0Lz2I; h=Received:Mime-Version:In-Reply-To:References:Content-Type:Message-Id:From:Subject:Date:To:X-Mailer:X-ELNK-Trace:X-Originating-IP; Received: from [65.110.128.59] (helo=[192.168.2.74]) by smtpauth08.mail.atl.earthlink.net with asmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FGfMG-0003s9-Un for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tue, 07 Mar 2006 11:48:25 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v746.2) In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: John Berryman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 11:48:22 -0500 To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.746.2) X-ELNK-Trace: b3baf86f04a51c2f0f36c4a2948c83129ef193a6bfc3dd483d652bda23e5d4325c237dae5955f28f900f0771c95f4286350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c X-Originating-IP: 65.110.128.59 X-Antivirus-Scanner: Clean mail though you should still use an Antivirus Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.6 Subject: Re: [MBZ] HOLY CRAP X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.6 Precedence: list Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Id: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes_striplin.net.striplin.net> List-Unsubscribe: <http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Archive: <http://striplin.net/pipermail/mercedes_striplin.net> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 16:48:26 -0000 On Mar 7, 2006, at 11:10 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The bidders must think this panel is exclusive to the 6.9, which is > how it > is listed.
