YES - you hit the nail on the head! That's exactly what mine feels like, and I started worrying that maybe something is slipping and that the trans is on its way out. And yes, it increases the harder you step on it, meaning it seems to take longer to shift. But under moderate or light throttle, you don't even notice it.

How many miles are on your wagon now? And does it still do the clutch shift? If so, have you noticed it worsening at all over the years? How often do you change the fluid & filter? And most importantly, for purposes of comparison, what type of wagon are we talking about - 123 or 124? Mine is a 124 (300E) with 126,000 miles.

Thanks for the input!
