w126 trans issue AFTER IP r&r for reseal
 

sorry for the double post but i originally posted this in tech help and meant to post it here instead


Back in January i r&r and resealed my 603 IP due to leaking seals, Amazingly after much cranking she started right up for me a bit rough till the air got out but not pretty smooth and no leaks. Trans seemed to shift a bit wierd, im going to assume that perhaps i knocked one of the connecting linkages/rods while R&R the IP. How do i do about adjusting this? i cant find anything on the forum unless i missed a post. Why may you ask did i wait 2 months to jack with this? i was out of town on business and just got back. Car started right up for me after sitting outside (thanks brand new interstate i got in Dec) and i drove it around a bit and still it shifts high in the rpm range but seems a bit sluggish.

I did loose some ftrans fluid, that has been replaced, i drove it quite a bit 15 miles maybe stopping to add fluid and its full on the mark now. it has always leaked trans fluid sparatically. ive changed the pan gasket a few times i think its just the angle of my drive way. in any event seems as thos this isnt a fluid issue, just that is over revs before shifting yet is sluggish and seems under fueled.

sorry if this is confusing, i confuse myself at times too :)

went out and gave it another look... it appears i had a few things loose on the linkage, i tightened the 2 nuts but the first shift is still 3000-3500 rpms, a bit scarry

Im thinking its the VCV, maybe it needs adjusting or i jarred something when i reassembled, i have 20" vac from the vac pump @ idle, 20" at the intake to the blue saucer on the fender, 7" comming out after the green cylinder (ive seen it called many different names on this forum).

with all the views my thread got i was oping somewould have chimed in with an idea
