transmission help needed
i am having problems with the transmission of my 82 300sd. it has problems getting into forth gear. a few weeks ago it wouldn't go into forth until warmed up. now it is taking longer.....
i pulled the vacuum line from the tranny and it reads 16, it falls to 6 when i pull the accelerator the fluid is ok and it and the filter was changed out recently i have had the car about 2 years, i got it from the original owner it has just passed 100,000 miles any words of wisdom on how to get the car back on the road would be appreciated |

Vacume should be zero at full throttle......and 5 inches at half throttle.
16 inches is max' at idle. If it sees 5 plus inches at WOT it will not shift until 4800 rpm. .

Vacuum has very little to do with shift points and less vacuum would make the shifts higher if anything. Check your control pressure cable, be sure it doesn't stick out at times and disconnect the kick down switch under the gas pedal.

Control pressure cable
Thank you for the suggestions.
I can handle disconnecting the switch behind the pedal, but need a few more words when possible. Please explain how to check the cable and how to identify it. |

Control pressure cable
I got the switch behind the gas pedal disconnected but that didn't get her cruising in forth unfortunately.
The line that leaves the throttle linkage and heads behind the engine and down towards the transmission has a loose tie-down. I could get it up on stands in a few days to check out its condition at the tranny end, just don't know what to do when i'm there. Any more ideas? |
