1988 300se tranny Q's

what controls the kick down ? is there a switch controlled by vacuum ? if so is it cleanable or adjustable ? seems when im cruising on interstate at low spd. and rpm's in 4th and i floor it it just drags until it catches up on rpm's and then its fine. i cant get it to kick down into third gear when completely floored.. if i go a bit slower it will kick down but mainly when im at approx 55-60mph 3000rpm and up it wont kick down.

also on the passenger side of tranny located on the side of the tranny near rear there is a little round housing i believe held in by three allen head bolts.. seems to be leaking around that .. as far as i can see nothing connects to it externally but i would really like to stop the small leak ..


and im experiencing at normal driving from a stop to cruising the rpms and shift times seem to be ok but when it does shift it seems to take longer than needed to shift to the next gear and when it does the rpm's fall low and it seems to be slugish until i pick up more speed in that gear ..from first to second gear its ok.. but second to third is where i notice it allot and third to fourth is medium .. if they made a shift kit im sure it would solve the problem but what may be causing the slow transfer of gears ?


can anything else be adjusted on the tranny ..like shift points ?

thanks for your help .. seems after reading that i didnt explain it very well but give it a shot
