transmission slippage

[bigo011]

My '79 450sl transmission slips when I first start out in am. After it warms up, it works fine. During the days drive-start-stop-it works fine. I have checked fluid and it is ok. What is causing the problem and what do i do to correct it?

it could be a leaky vacuum modulator.

If that doesn't leak vacuum then it is probably just a old tranny with worn bands.

If that's the case, why ndoes it work fine after warm up?

heat expands stuff and stuff gets tighter --- hows that for techno talk???

Check out the lingages, on my 72 after they were set to specifications my flair dissapeared. serch my name or tranny slip

Oh, I don't know, Ron. Since you're sporting about in your SL you've got plenty of "FLAIR"!

Now, "flare" on the other hand......

flare, flair, ligages, linkages, up , down , all the same (lol) except of course my SL , which , as we all know is not the same .... because its the best one on my block (there are no others)
