Hello all,

My wifes 93 300D has a trransmission shift that is geting worse. When we first purchased the car 3 years ago it would have issues when the temperature dropped below 35deg F shifting from 2nd to 3rd for a few minites till temperature would get close to 60deg. Now it takes almost 15 min and almost 2 miles for it to shift into 4th.
Any suggestions or ideas where I shold look for the culprit?

Thanks in advance to any help.

Adriano

I have a 93 300d with 131K. the transmission was also having a hard time getting to 4th when cold here in PA. changed to artificial ATF, AMSOIL with a new filter, car shifts better, gets 1-2 better milage too. good luck...
