84 190d auto transmission - 3/18/2007 6:14:08 PM    tom4190   Posts: 1 Joined: 3/18/2007 Status: offline Just purchased a 1984190d with auto tranny... when in D it will go to 1st gear and then slip to nothing, no go... if i manually put it in 2 it will shift to 2nd gear.... if I put into 3 back to nothing.... back to D is back to 1st gear... the car has less then 200k and seems to run strong in 1st and 2nd gear... just won't shift on it's own.... any suggestions... Thanks, Tom Post #: 1

Conversion isn't that difficult, search 190revolution.net for the best answer _____________________________ 1984 Mercedes 190D-SOLD! 1999 Honda Civic DX- Current DD 1986 Mercedes 190E-16v-On the way (in reply to cyberbackpacker) Post #: 6
