car doesnt move fast on take off

well i got a 83 300d that has started to not have any take off. when it gets to about 3k it kinda moves. thats about when the turbo starts to spool up. both fuel filters have been changed,cleaned the aldl line and bango fitting but still that didnt help. im gonna try to adjust the valves. the car has 440k miles on it. the trans seams to shift through the gears really fast, all stacked shifts. the acceleration problem seamed to happen really quick. it wasnt a real progression to where it is. any ideas out there??

Check the turbo switchover valve and it's rubber connectors. It sounds like the ALDA is not getting the boost signal for additional fueling.

If you are saying you think it is shifting through the gears too fast then check to see if your trans is affected by vacuum... some are, some not... does yours have a vacuum modulator ?
Do adjust the valves to spec before the other tests... that baseline needs to be ok anyway...

... sounds like a classic B2 piston problem to me.
catch it quick, and you may not need a new transmission... It looks like I waited too long...

Mine doesn't move fast in initial takeoff either. It's quite slow.

But when the temperature gets between 40 and 60C, it's like a switch turns on and I have gobs of power.

I believe it's the switchover valve and the ALDA isn't getting the signal to provide more fuel.

b2 piston is the part of the transmission that engages first gear.
if it's bad, you will have high RPM's and little or no movement forward until the friction pushes the car up to enough speed for 2nd gear to engage.

Is your linkage hitting max stop on the back of the IP?

If one has a bad B2 piston, would that cause no creeping at idle, while the tranny is in D, S, or L?

On my car, you can feel the turbo boost effect in first gear. The slowest take off occurs when the A/C compressor is engaged, but once rhe RPM hits 2000+ all is good.

on mine, the weak and dead B2 makes it feel like it's in neutral at idle, and there is slight movement forward when you rev the motor.
after I changed the kit in, putting the shifter from N to D there is a noticable CLUNK as it pulls into gear.
my case was pretty badly worn from the metal sleeve of the original B2, and sometimes it will not go into 1st from R or N... I have to either rev it to get moving, or wait for it to clunk into gear. Whunter says I need a new case, if I can find no leaks around the B2 cover...

That makes sense, and good thing to check along with the other items when slow take off is noted.

ahh, ok. that's good. do you have someone who can step on the accelerator while you look at the linkage on the IP and verify that full travel is achieved?
that is another thing I had wrong with my SD, fixing that trippled the acceleration of my car.
