Hey.

1983 240d 186k

My problem came back again from a silky smooth transmission. I fixed it a few weeks ago but now I'm at the point where I'm about to buy another cream puff but in MANUAL. I've yet to take this car to any type of mechanic so if you know of someone good in New Jersey please post away.

Anyway.... I'm getting rough shift from first to second so I would love to diagnose the problem. (it's not that bad but rather annoying) I've been planning on keeping this car for years since the body is so perfect and shiny (I bought it from the original owner which has garage kept it all its life). I thought about manual conversion but my father is telling me that there is too much involved in such a conversion (what does he know?). I have a 240D manual sitting around my house for 500 bucks and the car has 176k.

Should I try to fix the vacuum somewhere ? Take it to a mechanic ? Or just buy another nice 240 ? (money is not an issue at all)

Thanks
