anybody have any suggestions

Do the fluid change by the dealer and proceed from there.

(and it does not help to push the topic to the top every day)

Mem, had a similar problem once. 85 500 SEL with alot more miles. Fluid and filter change did wonders even though I had to "baby" her afterwards. Don't wait until irreversible damage is done. 135.00 or so with an idependant is much more cost effective than 3,000.

its been parked, i just ordered a transmission filter and gasket. do you now how much fluid it takes and is there a special fluid that is needed beside just atf???

i listed the car for sell with the transmission problem, but no luck. i think the car just needs some T.L.C.

i can do with out this car thats why i've had it parked, but im getting tiredd of seeing a nice car parked in the backyard.

I'm sorry to say that u must fix the transmission itself. I faced such problem and nothing fix it but the over-whole of the transmission. Here it in Kuwait costs arround 350$ and a full day work.

Tip: Never let anyone drives urown car.
All the best.

i dont think that the filter is going to do anything either but i think its worth a try.
