I have a 1975 240D with 107550 miles .It was working fine:good compression does not burn that much oil. This morning on the parking lot of my local Kmart the old lady was unable to back up, when I put it on reverse it is like nothing happened like neutral. I waited until the car in front of me left to drive the car home it shifted perfectly it did not slip at all. I checked the linkage going to the tranny, everything look fine,when I put it on park I got the wheels lock, when on Drive It start moving forward.I have noticed that it is really easy to move the shift from park to reverse more easily than before. I have also checked the fluid level and it is ok.I am really worry. Does anybody had that problem?Any advice would be appreciated.
