Hi again, this is Mia.
(Lots of questions, as usual).
Driving my 1984 300SD and loving it. Sturdy, heavy, solid, running over stuff and not even noticing it :) FINALLY gasoline got more expensive than diesel again, whew :)
When the tranny's shifting from 1st to 2nd while I'm driving away from a stop light, depending on how hard I press the gas pedal, I may or may not experience a distinct 'jerk'. Sometimes I press the pedal just right, and it shifts smoothly. When I'm NOT stopping completely, like when making a turn, it never jerks.
My mechanic said the transmission fluid is a bit brown - could it jerk because of that?
Thanks.
Mia J.
