OK, here we go again. You all remember the 190D I bought with a bad
tranny, put a used tranny I had it in, would not shift past 2nd. Yanked
it out, put another tranny in. It too would not shift past 2nd. I
played with it for a bit, shifting it back and forth from forward to
reverse etc then all the sudden it started shifting just fine. So, I
have been driving that car for the last 2 months without a bit of
problems. Yesterday on the way to work, I get off the highway, stop at
the light at the end of the ramp, then go, guess what, wont upshift!!
WTF? I drove the last 3 miles to work in 2nd then after work I messed
with it a bit. The fluid level is fine, not burned or anything like
that. The cable seems to pull out and go back in just fine. I dont
really think its the kickdown stuck. I drove it around the parking lot
and I was thinking it was in first, but if I put it down into low you
can then feel it shift down to first. SO apparantly its starting out in
2nd, and not downshift to 1st upon takeoff like it normally would. If
you do kick it down to 1st, it will not upshift to 2nd. Otherwise, if it
starts in 2nd, it stays in 2nd. What the heck could the problem be? Im
going to change the fluid and filter again thinking maybe its plugged up
or something. What all else would prevent an upshift?
