Last nite I drove from Baltimore to Richmond, with no issues...other than dealing with steering slop. But this morning the tranny wont shift out of its starting gear. Any ideas?
thx

I had the same problem with a 240D Automatic. I added a quart of transX from autozone...It took about 3-4 blocks to clear the problem...I think that one of the interior small pasageways was blocked...anyhow the transX worked for me...Jim

I just have the trans fluid changed less than 500 miles ago...Would another quart of fluid screw up the tranny?

Check the kick-down switch under the accelerator pedal. If it is stuck than the transmition will be in first gear only. Pull the top of the kick-down switch or disconnect it to test it. Good luck.

thanks for your help.

I would drain the fluid(you will get about 3 quarts and then I would add the transx and then refill the transmission...I wouldn't overfill it...Let us know if the kick down fix works???Good Luck Jim
