[MBZ] surge when 300D is in park.

2009-06-12 Thread michaelesh
Hi Everyone, My 1984 300D auto tranny feels like it is in gear when it is in park. When I press the accelerator the car surges forward like it wants to take off. It is in park of course and cannot take off. Is this normal or is something out of adjustment. Is this hurting the transmission.

Don't know if it is normal but it happened on my 79 240D and happens to my 300D 2.5t. IIRC-it surged forward even without accelerator when first put in park. I assumed it was excessive travel to get parking pawl set. My $0.02 Dwight (Now driving the stick 240D.) Dwight E. Giles, Jr. 1978 240D 4
