Change fluid and filter. If that doesn't improve things the transmission 
may only need adjustment OR it may be worn out! It is, after all, 30 
years old!

Thanks John, that would do it.  Are most of the kickdown switches inside,
under the pedal?

Perhaps the kickdown switch under the gas pedal is stuck?

[MBZ] 280E, AT, won't shift into third

2007-08-16 Thread Harry Watkins
A guy looking to buy one of my SDLs has a 1977 and he says it won't shift to
3rd gear.  Says the tach keeps climbing, but no shift.  I told him someone
on this list will have the answer.

Any ideas?
