84’ 300D trans shifting ROUGH
Howdy W123 Fam,
I recently acquired an impressively nice 84’ 300D turbo up in Sacramento. While everything is great, the transmission is shifting hard between 1st and 2nd, it gets better as it shifts up to 4th. I checked the fluid and assume the vacuum is good as shut off is working. Did not check the transmission vacuum lines individually though. Is there anything I can trouble shoot as a driveway mechanic? If not, does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic in SoCal near Pasadena? Lastly, what could I be expect in expense? I’m a pay once, cry once kind of person when it comes to repairs.
