Another 2-3 flare shift solved
 

Thanks to all on the board.... must have read 100 posts.... another member sent me the k-1 spring kit..."on spec"so to speak....

I installed it...and did a fluid/filter change......

not too much clutch material...but the fluid was a bit cloudy as opposed to ruby red...

I wonder what the diagnosis would have been if I took it to AAMCO or the stealership?

this is on the 1995 e320 with 141k.

They would have first told you to do a "flush" damaging your transmission....then probably told you it needs to be rebuilt.

This is the reason why these forums are an absolute invaluable resource.
