Hi all,

New here......

I own a 1986, 190D 5 speed. It has 296,000 miles on it.

Up until recently my transmission I can't shift into reverse. Prior to this it was slightly difficult to persuade it into reverse. Before I take it to the shop, any thoughts on troubleshooting?

Internal gear issues or linkage? I hate having to park so I don't have to back up.....funny sight pushing the car back wards in the parking lot, but at 40 MPG running on free jet fuel it's a no brainer.

Can anyone give me suggestions where I can start troublshooting my trani before I cry uncle and take it to a MB specialist?

Thanks,
Ed
