In my 300SE, the tranny has been acting kinda funny lately. If you are to accelerate hard normally, at around 40 mph before kickdown, it will downshift into 3rd and if you go into kickdown into 2nd. Now I have no shift before kickdown and when I go into kickdown I only go into 3rd. Second gear works fine if I work it manually. Any ideas about this? I just had some tranny hoses replaced lately as they were starting to leak.
