Hi John -
It sounds like there may be some dirt or dust in the valve body - even a
piece of lint can prevent a valve from sliding into place as it should..
I heard somewhere that 80% to 90% of tranny shifting problems are caused by
foreign material in the oil or tranny - sometimes a oil and filter change
will help. Sorr, but if a ATF/filter change doesn't fix it, it might need a
more detailed look.
Good luck -

Subject: [MBZ] Tranny shifting problem!!
Need a little info regarding a problem with the transmission in my 1985
300SD. Changed to the Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic ATF about a year or so ago.
Everything running smoothly up until last week. All of a sudden, the
transmission won't shift into its highest gear without my taking my foot
off of the
accelerator. In other words, I get up to about 50-55 mph running at 3500
rpm, at which point the last shift is suppose to occur and drop the rpm's
back to about 2500 running at 60 mph. This just won't happen unless I
disengage the accelerator. Question: Does anyone know the cause and cure
for such
a problem???
