If it is like a 240D then check to be sure the reverse band adjustment bolt on
the passengers side of the transmission has not backed itself out. I thought
reverse was shot in mine....Tightened the bolt back in to where it belonged and
it was as good as new. Might not be your problem but may be worth a look.
Good luck, Mike

If you have no reverse, odds are that you will indeed need to have some work
done on your transmission. Be prepared...

Sounds like the transmission filter is getting plugged. Try changing the
transmission filter and fluid. Don't forget to drain the torque converter. BTW,
if you take it to a transmission shop they will say you need a rebuild (that's
their job). Either do it yourself or find a shop you really trust. I have had
such symptoms on American iron, and this solution worked for me. YMMV.

If anybody knows what the problem is and about how much it cost. When I
put my 1990 Mercedes 300se into reverse it acts like it dont want to go?
Driving forward there are no problems. I dont know if it is worth getting the
transmission flushed or if the reverse gear is going out?
