My 1985 300TD wagon, besides normal sluggishness, almost refuses to downshift on it's own. It seems that sometimes, even from a stop, it never goes down to 1st gear. I can shift it manually, and get it where it needs to go, but even pressing the pedal to the floor seldom will get it to downshift. 308K on the odometer, and it runs great except for this issue. Any thoughts?
