yep - the transmission would be free - no fluid pressure = no rotational torque from the converter => no drive

I guess I should have said the car stops driving forward. It does not come to a stop as long ad there is some momentum.

Is Redline D4 a proper ATF for this transmission? You aren't supposed to use so called "universal" transmission fluids.

I always use Shell ATF 134.

D4 meets the 236.10 standard, according to Redline....but it's not on MB's very short list of approved fluids.
