I have a 1980 280SL Euro car. Right now she suffers from hard shifts. It's my feeling that this is probably due to a vacuum problem. I had some work performed by an indy and the problem arose subsequent to that. Additionally, there was a vacuum port at the rear of the intake manifold that was open. Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance!
