Sorry to bother with a possible stupid question re the above automatic transmissions.... nevertheless, I am short-listing SL's to buy and want to make a decision re the 4 speed hydraulic and electronic 5 speed automatic transmissions. Overdrive on the latter is certainly nice but not really essential for myself. However, kickdown on my 300e is agonizingly slow (typical I'm told of the hydraulic 4 speed transmission) and am wondering if this has improved with the 5 speed electronic. any input much appreciated

cheers, guenter
