Hi guys,

I have a 95 E420 which won't upshift correctly after a kickdown from a dead stop. From a dead stop after a kickdown the car will remain in 1st and once it reaches 5K rpm it will behave as if a rev. limiter was kicking in, (500 below the redline?).

Once this is happening if I tap the pedal lightly then it shifts to second and continues shifting well but a little brisk at times.

Could this be the Kickdown Solenoid? Vacuum leak I can't find and why does it feel like a rev. limiter is kicking in at only 5K rpm?

Thanks for any tips.
