Probably a dumb question, but are you sure you are getting transmission cooperation when you want to accelerate? I ask as my current SD was behaving somewhat the same way. However, I guess I was so intent on swearing and stomping the pedal that I did not notice the real culprit is that my transmission has a mind of its own on whether it starts from a stop in first or second. Same for kickdown from 2 to 1 for low speed power demands, and 3-2 is kinda iffy as well. For now I just use the lever and live with it. Cheers -- Mac '82 300sd '82 240d (x2) '60 220s
