My trans... dying?
Hrm... I seem to have a flareup on my 3-4 shift on my '84 300D sedan. Once it's done, it's fine in gear. Kicksdown okay too.
I also changed the fluid with filter yesterday to no avail. Anyone think my linkage or modulator is going bad/in need of adjustment or the trans is going to go poo eventually?

The trans is probably dying but you can drive it like that a LONG time.

I took a nap and remembered a bad modulator would result in hard shifts all the time due to no vac from what I recall.
Twitch... time to do some reading.
