Could it be you have a selector problem? Or perhaps you have a problem with
the valve body, like a sticky valve that is now stuck open? I am guessing
here but would advise to get under the car and make sure the selector is
selecting. Other than that it is expert time. Perhaps drain the fluid and
drop the pan to see if there is anything untoward in there.

Subject: [MBZ] Another Transmission Problem
I have a problem with my 85 300SD transmission that I would like to
explore.
The transmission and torque converter were replaced in Oct 2003. It has
logged
30k miles. I bought it from Rusty. It is filled with Mobil1Synthetic fluid
.
It has been performing flawlessly until recently.
In the past few weeks, I noticed the forward shifts, all of them, where
harsher than
in the past. I attributed this to vacuum and made a note to go over the
vac
system soon. However, yesterday I parked the car and made a quick dash
into
a store. I
returned to the car, fired it up, put it in drive, but the transmission
did
not engage. Not
forward or reverse. Revving up the engine makes no difference.Fluid level
fine, nice and pink.
Other than the harsher shifts, there were no other symptoms, sounds,
on-the-road problems, or fluid leaks. It simply stopped working.
Does this sound like a valve body seal problem? Maybe a bad torque
converter? Modulator?
