1985 500sl trans ****ft problem
 

I have a 1985 500sl euro that the trans will not shift out of 1st gear until I reach 38 mph,out of second at 68 mph, out of third at appx. 90 mph it does not make any difference if I shift it manually. I installed a newly rebuilt trans and still have the same problem If you let off the gas it will cost back to netural. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you misplaced the "T" in your title. :D

your cable is too tight.either it is missadjusted or the linkage is put back together incorrectly.
