[spree17]

I really dont like how hard my auto tranny shifts in the low gears especially when cold. This is only noticable on the shift from 1st to second gear. Previous owner told me that was normal as do guys on another messageboard but it reminds me of a bad vaccum advance that I have fixed on other cars. Then when I looked up reviews on this 1993 190 the review mentioned a faulty transmission vaccum module. Does anyone have any information regarding this matter. My car drives like a dream on the highway but the tranny shifting from a complete stop stops are almost embarrassinly hard.

Any and all insite would be much appreciated!
