tranny slips
Good morning everyone. This weekend my 300TD developed a problem. On the 2 to 3 shift, it goes into gear then slips and goes back into gear. I hope someone here has experience on fixing this problem and would give me some pointers on what to check. Will a filter and fluid change help? Thanks in advance everyone.

I hope so too. I just got the TD about a month and a half ago.
I checked the fluid and it was still red and did not stink. One big info I forgot to post is that the tranny shifted good when I got it. the slip started when I adjusted the ALDA 3/4 of a turn CCW. Sorry about not stating that. This morning, I noticed that it shifted fine when cold and got the flaring shifts when it got to normal temps, didn't notice the slip once it shifted to third. Will a tranny cooler help? If it does, do I need to connect the lines to the radiator still? Thanks in advance everyone. I'll try the Trans X after I get home from work.
