Greetings Forum Members,

I would appreciate any experienced opinions and advice one might have on
my current transmission malfunction.
About 9 months ago I think I first noticed a slight delay in the transmission engaging when shifted into reverse. The delay seems to have gotten a little worse over over the past 2K miles. I find myself shifting into park from drive and then into reverse to try to minimise the delay.
I had a 69 280sec that started acting like this just before the tranny went out.
I hope the sl isn't on the same course.
Is there a transmission band that I can adjust to correct this problem or is my
tranny "IN THE TOASTER" preparing to pop!


Thanks,

Knarf

The 350sl have an adjustable reverse band.

Thanks much for your on point reply.
The vast wealth of shared information avaliable through this forum

As a life long tinkerer with shade tree mechanic status added in adulthood, I think I've become addicted to this forum.
When searching for answers to questoins related to my cars I always seem to find them here.
