I think you are on the right track. I had a similar experience with
a 124. I changed the filter and fluid and all was well. Sun Valley
said to always use Mann filter in the 124. I had an elring from
Rusty. Since then I have been buying the Manns from Rusty, but you
have to also order the gasket. The elrings come with a gasket. BTW,
I have several elrings, if anyone wants to buy them.

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?
