1984 300DT transmision slipping
My transmision started slipping when shifting into 3rd gear. Doesn't do it all the time, but I'm affraid it going to get worse. A friend said to change the tranny oil and filter and maybe it would correct itself, but after doing this today its still slipping. Any ideas of what I should check before I have it rebuilt or find a replacement?

It's probably not slipping, but flaring. A vacuum problem somewhere.
somebody here should be able to help you chase it down...don't worry, not major.
