Benz 280 SE 1969 Auto-Transmission Problem

Nov 05, 2006 3 Replies

If anyone could advise on this fault. I shift into drive the car moves forward but when I apply accelerator the engine reves, but car moves slowly and eventually over what seems to be too long a period it finaly changes into second gear. From 1st to 2nd is the problem. The rest of the gear changes are OK.



Thank you.



Have you checked ATF level, color and smell?

Ralf

A '69 M-B used a 4 speed step gear transmission modeled after the original GM HydraMatic. It has nothing whatsoever in common with anything from Chrysler. Look elsewhere.
