W126 transmission not shifting after vacation
 
Transmission was shifting fine when I went on vacation for 30 days. I get back and transmission shifts from first to 4th. You can feel it trying to shift into maybe second but doesn't. It shifts perfect from the shift lever but not on it's own.
Anyone ever heard of something similar before and knows what it can be? I put a new filter and fluid in it but still the same.

Car is a 83 300SD

As I recall my '83 SD did something very similar when the adjuster broke at the head of the Bowden cable (cable went slack).
