engine and transmission problems

Can anybody help.

I just purchased a 1980 model 450SL and I'm trying to restore the whole car.
The problem I have is, when I drove the car in reverse the automatic transmission hesitated a little under load.
I decided to change the filter and transmission fluid, and while I did I made sure that the filter is installed the correct way.
Now the engine stalls and backfires up to about 1800 RPM and it sounds like its running only on six cylinders. My transmission is also acting up and won't pull almost nothing in reverse with a little load on it.
I think it may be the vacuum system, but I'm not sue.
Can anybody help me.

Thanks

Gunter
