I just had the major service performed on my 240D automatic. It previously shifted really hard from 1-2 and was hesitant to shift 2-3 unless I let off the throttle slightly. This was diagnosed as an inop vacuum switch which was replaced and it shifts very smoothly now. One thing I noticed is that intermittently when shifting into drive from park or reverse, it almost feels like it is shifting twice before I get underway. It didn't do this before the tranny service and vacuum switch replacement. I'm sure there is an adjustment for this that my indy will certainly take care of once I bring it to his attention, but wondered if any one of you dieselers out there has had a similar experience.

There was a thread about adjusting the vacuum switch here somewhere, but basicly you open the cap and turn th escrew in or out depending on the shifting pattern. I sorry I don't remember which whay is which.
