Thanks for the adjustment instructions, Brian. I will try some adjustments and see what happens.

I should have been more specific in my complaint, I guess....the shift is currently rough, much harder than either of my other two diesel Benzes. (It reminds me of the hard shifting that the 210 had when I accidentally disconnected the vacuum line to the modulator in that car's transmission.)

It's harsh enough that a mechanic who was inspecting the car for a prospective buyer thought the car had a transmission problem. I knew it was not that; the point to me was that the shifts were harsh enough to attract his attention. I'm looking for a problem in the vacuum system that is causing the modulator to have too much or too little vacuum.
