difficulty moving in reverse
For the past few days when I first start my 300D and go to back out of the garage I have to give quite a bit of throttle to get the car to move. The fluid looks and smells fine and once I shift into drive the car shifts smoothly through the gears. Any idea what the problem could be? I am going to back in tonight and see if the same issue exists in drive.

Reverse band clutch. Or so I guess. Common issue from what I have read here. I have the same issue, but its pretty bad now. I have to be careful where I park!!

Yes, my wifes 83 300TD experienced this problem many years ago. It's the achilles heel of that box.

My reverse still works but thunks when it engages; so I guess some day there will be no more thunk and no more reverse.
On my 84 300D there is no way to adjust the reverse Band. But, on some of the earlier transmissions there is a band adjustment that can be accessed by removing a tamper proof screw. There at least one thread on how to do that. When I first got my Car I had some shifting issues and dumped in some of the Lucas Transmission sealer and it helped. Don't know if it would change anything in you situation.

Just had to have the transmission on my 1991 300E remanufactered because of the same issue. Lost reverse. Did the Fred Flintstone thing for awhile while the drive worked well. Then the drive started to slip occasionally.

A thunk when engaging reverse is most likely NOT the transmission. It is a loose u-joint, bad differential mounting, bad motor mount, bad flex disk or something like this.
