My '96 Dodge Dakota did that, Angie drove all the way home in low one day, boy she was happy with me...
I sucked a quart of fluid out with my topsider and put in a quart of the Lucas trans stuff. Flailed it around for a half an hour, let it sit over night and the next day it was improved. It improved more over the next couple days until it was basically normal. I had a filter and fluid and it went another 20,000 miles. My best guess was it had a sticky valve and the high detergent (even for ATF) Lucas stuff helped flush it out. Maybe get her to try slipping it into neutral while moving and then back into drive, that helped on my Dakota. -Curt Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 19:05:52 -0600 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: [MBZ] 107 trans Message-ID: <a0624080cccbcbef7dc3b@[192.168.1.51]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" #1 daughter called and said she had been out driving earlier this afternoon, came home, and left again. When she turned onto the major highway, the car would not shift out of low. She tried turning the car off and restarting. The fluid was between the min and max marks. Fluid and filter were changed a year ago. 1985 380SL Neutral (Park) safety switch is getting flakey, but works after the shifter is run down and back. Kinda sounds like the 124 elring filter collapse. But I never heard of that in a 107, or anything but a 124. Anyone else have any other ideas? total vacuum failure (unhooked hose to modulator) should result in very harsh and high RPM shifts. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
