Hi,

I bought a 1995 MB 230. It is in excellent condition. The only issue is that the transmission shifts very hard when it is first started and driven. After a few shifts it smothes out and shifts smoothly. If I drive the car and do no allow it to shift into second gear for about one mile the transmissionthen shifts OK. It seems that it might be a pressure, or circulation issue. The problem returns every time the engine is stopped for any length of time. I know only a little about trsansmissions. Do you have any suggestions?
