The k1/k2 spring upgrade will not affect reverse. When reverse takes a while to engage it is simply worn out. On the older transmissions there was a bolt that could be tightened for the slow reverse issue. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 11, 2017, at 6:52 AM, Ralph,'84TD via Mercedes > wrote: >

Actually, the accumulator spring in K1 will fix your 2-3 "stacked" shift, and replacing the accumulator spring in K2 will soften and slightly delay your 3-4 shift. You can do one or both, it's not mandatory to do both. For sure do K1, as it will make a noticeable difference in the 2-3 upshift.
