Have a 1987 560 SEL with 138,000miles. It has been mostly sitting for the last 8 years - only driven rarely. I started using the car again recently and noticed a HARD shift into reverse (actually chirps the tires) When in reverse, the car seems to be on a higher idle as it moves pretty quick without touching gas. Forward gears seem OK, but lacks some power at speeds over 30 and the kickdown does not seem to engage.
The trans fluid, filter have been changed. Level is fine. Also changed the trans modulator. Vacuum line to it is fine. Tried adjusting a couple notches each way, but no difference. Set it back to how it arrived.
Any ideas?? Please help.
