Hey guys I have a question regarding the shifting of my 1985 300D.
I have never had the opportunity to ride in another w123 so I have no idea what proper shifting looks like. So here is what happens.
When I have my car warmed up I press on the accelerator and the RPMs go up to 2600 rpm. From there I feel from underneath a very slight shift from 1-2. After that the RPMs will stay at 2600 until I get into 4th gear and then they will continue to go up depending on speed.
I can only feel the shift between 1-2. I can't feel the shift between 2-3 and 3-4 as there is no change in RPMs or any noticeable sound.
I am going from a video from diesel giant where you can obviously count what gear he is in from the video. (

Why is his car shifting so much later than mine as well as having noticeable shifts?
