what is the normal idle speed? I will check again when it's warm. It
doesn't sound like a fast idle.

Just checked the idle speed; 6500/7000 at start up. The lurch is really
in
the reverse gear, first gear is not very hard at all, just the reverse.
The reverse also takes a bit to engage, slower than first gear.

My 300SDL transmission shifts very nicely thru all the gears, however,
when
putting the car in gear originally from neutral it goes into gear
rather
harsh, also, when I put the car into reverse; the same thing.
Idle speed? The SDL is set to idle high, mechanically. The EDS is
what drags it down to 'normal'. Any problem with the wiring, or
the actuator, or the power supply through the overvoltage protection
relay/crowbar and it idles high, and lurches into gear.
