300d tranny

I have a 1981 300d. Lately, it has been shifting late in each gear. It will always shift before the max speed indicated on the speedometer. In the past, this usually occurred when I had a vaccuum leak but cannot locate one now. As it gets warm if you let completely off the gas at each normal gear change it will shift earlier. Thanks.

Your symptoms indicate a simple solution!
You should try and adjust the BOWDEN CABLE. I am not sure how exactly this is done on your model Mercedes, but if you do a search, I'm sure you'll come up with more than enough information.
GOOD LUCK!

You may have a sticking portion of the linkage that the bowden cable is connected to. Start by cleaning and adding grease.
