[diesel_mercedes] Re: Tranny Shift RPM

 

1-2 is really bad now under anything but easy throttle. But operation
now is not normal because I've disconnected all vacuum to the
transmission in order to allow a semblance of normal driving. As long as
minimum throttle is used it shifts beautifully. With all hooked up it
holds the 2-3 the worst.

It's been nearly a year now since I've messed with it, but I have to
straighten it out to sell it. I've got too many wheels!

What shift flares?
1-2, 2-3, 3-4?

The modulator can be adjusted by removing the cap and turning the key.

Another thing is the kickdown switch under the pedal can get stuck on.
