It was 5 degrees this morning. No problems starting my 79' 300sd, but couldn't get the car to back out of the driveway.
Managed to push the monster back to where I could put it in drive and swing around. Drove for about 5 min. pulled into a parking lot to test it, and sure enough reverse worked.
Is this a common problem with the older MB's? any advice for how to warm the tranny or repair this problem? Also, can anyone explain why forward works, but backward doesn't??????

Thanks!
