300D NO FOURTH GEAR?

My 1985 300D stopped shifting into 4th gear today. While the shift lever is in "D" she drives as if she's in "2". Suggestions? Thanks.

Check the fluid level
When was the last filter and fluid change?
Check the throttle linkage and Bowden cable
Check your vacuum connections / system

It appears the fluid & filter change did the trick.

Thanks!
