97 e420 delay going into gear
I am looking at purchasing a 97 e420 that has 111,000 miles on it. It has a delay going in to gear from park (into reverse and drive) of about 1.5 seconds. It has had a full transmission service and still has the same behavior. Is this a problem or normal behavior. Please help as i am supposed to get on a plane tomorrow morning to go pick the car up. Thanks
Mason

The early years 722.6 transmission had many updates and design changes, most of them were to the valve body. One possibility:
