How did you get to 4th if 3rd slipped

Martin,
Good question. I dont think I really ever did. You are correct. I dont think the tranny every really went into 3rd so I would guess it never went to 4th. With this in mind, I guess it is more correct to think that my issue is that third gear is the issue and that 4th gear might be fine if it could pass through 3rd. That was jumping to a conclusion on my part, I was all doom and gloom at first. I need to focus on what could have gone wrong to lose lock up in third. All i did was change filter and fluid and the K1 spring kit. I used OEM MB part number A1262704477. The car drove fine for two days and about 30 or 40 miles. Then third just slipped while driving and hasnt been seen since. What could have broken in that valve body to only effect third and making it slip so much it never does in?
