Your bowden cable is probably adjusted to shift early, giving very light shifts.

If you try accelerating more spiritedly, see if you can count the shifts.
Actually I have noticed that before. However if I floor it the same results occur at 2600 rpm. If I feather the accelerator it will shift at 2400 rpm, but I still cannot count the shifts.


I adjusted the cable 4 turns counter clockwise and the same shift at 2600 being completely smooth occurred. Looks like I will be reading up on this mystical vacuum modulator on the bottom of the car.

I have a pre-adjustment video that is being sent from my blackberry to my youtube account for watching. It's much better then the original video I have.

Edit: Here's the new video. I have a better version where I turn onto a clearer road. That slushing clunk noise is snow

Edit 2: Ok Jimmy I understand about the blue flying saucer I need to do a little bit more reading as my 85 is a bit different from all of you other normal w123s.
