The transmission has just been rebuilt and was doing perfectly fine until i noticed the rpms running higher (there is a delayed shift from 2nd to 3rd which is kind of annoying). Not really sure if this would affect anything as I am used to the car averaging roughly 15mpg due to it being lowered 85-90mm. Im big on preventative maintenance and new to working on Mercedes, if someone could post their rpms at 60 or shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
