Title: transmission problem
Post by: Benz Dr. on September 03, 2025, 15:41:35

1970 280SL auto

Trans shifts up and down, kick down works, but it has a very harsh up shift. Down shifts are very smooth. Everything else works.

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Given the asymmetry of harsh shifts up versus smooth shifts down, is the torque convertor a possible issue?
