The RPMs will go to 4-5K and still no upshift from second to third. However, if I lift off the throttle COMPLETELY it will upshift. Then if I resume giving it throttle it will go back into second immediately. Any ideas?

Thanks

My 85 2.3 190E does the same thing. Ive tried changing the vacuum modulater, transmission filter & fluid and it still does the same thing. I broke the adjusting nut on my throttle cable, so as soon as I install a new one and adjust it, ill see if that fixes anything. I doubt it.

Anyways, let me know if you fix it and how.

Thanks
