acceleration
 

Hello
Much needed advise on my 87 560sl, I think this is a transmission problem, but not sure. Happens on and off. Driving 60mph,want to pass someone in front, sudden acceleration, the rpm move up, but the car is barely increasing speed, after that I get a rough shift and move forward. Please advise.
Regards

a good start is to check the fluid level.

maybe you should change the fluid and the filter

level is ok,change in the near future......I hope that it is all it needs

You may also want to check the transmission throtle linkage

Zbys560sl,
Had a similar problem with my 300E. Try pulling your fuel relay, and OVP. Use dielectric grease in the relay socket. Also make sure OVP is not bad. I also made my fuel mixture more rich, and turned my EHA 1/4 turn clockwise. Hope this helps,

Mike

Thank you very much for the input.Hope this helps,and is nothing serious.
