Ha! Yes, I realized this after I hit the enter key and sent the post! My 83 300 takes a few seconds to move after putting it in reverse. I have a feeling this is happening with this car I'm gonna look at. I am hoping that when I shift it into D and sit and wait that she'll start rolling.

I am thinking Tranny Filter. He had a mechanic look at it, but I don't think he was a Benz mechanic.

I just wanted to get some opinions on what could possibly cause the issue. Meaning can I spend $100 and tinker with it and be all set, or am I gonna possibly get myself into trouble with needing a new tranny.

Thanks
