It was prolly just a vacuum issue ~ so far the precise adjustment procedure has eluded me but with a $5.00 vacuum gauge and some patience you can cure 90 % of those pesky " flares " on the up shifts .
Me , I stop fiddling as soon as the flaring stops , I don't mind a firm to harsh up shift .

It shifted great, even a bit firm, when cold, and once it warmed up, it would slip during the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. We test drove the car after it had been driven out to my house, so we didnât get a chance to test it cold until we drove it the next day. So Iâm once again without an MB Diesel.
