C220 Hard Shifting
 

the 1-2. 2-3 and a bit at 3-4 shifting on my C220 seems to have gotten harder or jerkier. I'm guessing that if it has a vac modulator, bowden cable or control pressure cable, they may need adjustment.

Has anyone does this? I tried to locate any of these 3 parts on the car but could not seem to find them.

They were a lot easier on the W123s.

Can anyone offer any suggestion. Thanks.

Easier than I thought.... finally took a closer look at the vac mod to see if its accessible to adjust. Well, what do you know.... I found the vac line disconnected. After inspecting it, I realized it just barely reaches. I must have popped off. I replaced it with a slightly longer one which gave it more slack.

Shifts like a charm now.
