Thanks for the input. Okay then, after the trans-x has about a 100 miles on it, I'll have the transmission serviced, verify the modulator vacuum is correct and adjusted for a firmer shift. If I can't get any improvement on the slip during shift issue, I'll decide when I want to have the tranny rebuilt or replaced. I won't go with someone elses used tranny, I'll get it done right. Even though this coupe has 300,000 miles on it, the engine was replaced with a factory new engine at 90,000 and runs great. The car has had only 2 owners and the same mechanic it's whole life, it's always had all maintenace and any repairs when needed. The previous owner is an aquaintence of mine that took great care of the car and used the same mechanic that I use. It's rust free, runs great and look even better. This is my 4th 123 diesel and I finally found a great coupe. I'll spend the money to do the tranny right because I think the car will still go for several years. Now I have to sell my 240d, I'm having a bit of trouble putting it up for sale. I loved the 240D and it's simplicity. It has manual windows, manual dual heat controls, runs and shifts perfectly. I just wanted a couple.
Thanks again for the advise.
