Slow transmission 560sl
 I have a89 560sl. Changed fluid and filter on transmission and it wont go into any gears. When it warms up the gears will catch but the car goes so slowly in Reverse and Drive. Also there was a huge buck from the rear end when I tried to stop. Right now it seems that nothing will get it moving. Thanks for your help. Also it sometimes goes into gear and sometimes not

I assume that the trans was OK before?
It sounds to me like either something is very wrong with the filter that you installed or you did not refill with enough fluid or that you have too much fluid. On my complete fluid changes, I have always added about 2/3 of the capacity initially, started the engine, and let it idle to fill the converter, moving the shifter several times between P, D, and R as it warms up. Then I top it off. And I have never had a problem like this.

Tranny working again
Kept adding more fluid and then added some Lucas Transmission Anti Slip fluid. It turned out my error was not letting the engine idle long enough to fill up the torque converter. Runs like a champ now. Thanks for the info Chuck. I dont normally add additives to the vehicle but the reason I changed the fluid was because of a tranny flare. The Lucas fluid is a miracle product...
