Same thing happened to my W126, the valve body had something stuck. Took out cleaned and everything was OK.

Or perhaps you have a problem with the valve body, like a sticky valve that is now stuck open? I am guessing here but would advise to get under the car and make sure the selector is selecting. Other than that it is expert time. Perhaps drain the fluid and drop the pan to see if there is anything untoward in there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BIll Phelps" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 6:03 AM Subject: [MBZ] Another Transmission Problem >I have a problem with my 85 300SD transmission that I would like to >explore. > The transmission and torque converter were replaced in Oct 2003.
