'96 SL320 cold shifting
I have had my SL now for only 2 months and it drives beautifully but has a quirk that bothers me. When cold, it seems to almost refuse to shift from 3rd to 4th. This condition lasts less than 5 minutes on average until the temp gauge gets to the normal 80c mark and then everything is fine. None of the shift points are rough even when cold and transmission fluid level is right on the mark. Once the car gets to normal operating temp it shifts flawlessly. Has anyone else experienced this? My concern is that in cold weather this period where it won't shift may be much longer...any ideas?
