hi 1994 e300 wagon 120,ooo miles
have been having the age old hard shifts,so suspected vacum or pressure accumulator
needing attention.
this was present in the hot weather we were having-then last week ( 1st oct) we had a really
cold morning ,when drove the car it was as if it had a brand new transmission,smooth shifts
changing smooth as silk...
till got warmed up,then it began to shift very hard again.
i am now ruling out the vacum & accumulator and i am thinking if used a heavier grade trans fluid
and replaced the filter in the trans ,this might cure the harsh shifts
the shifts when warm are the often reported ,sounds like the pro shaft slamming when
changing
am i correct in thinking heavier fluid may help ?working on the theory that when cold the oil is heavier
and when gets warm it is thinner ??
appreciate any thoughts on this before i end up tweaking the regulator back a turn (ish)
