Transmission Problems

I have a 1982 240d with an automatic transmission. When I am speeding up sometimes I have to lift up on the accelerator a little when so my transmission will shift into a differnt gear. This is only when I am going about 35 mph and less. Whan I am at higher speeds it works fine. If I dont liftup on the accelator the car will kind of jerk, and then the engine will get really loud. The transmission fluid and filt has not been changed for a wile so I am wondering if that is the problem or if it is worn out. Any information on what this could be and how to fix it would be great.

Hello, I have an 82 300td and I have a 85 parts car with a good drivetrain. Now, I ve heard that the 85 rear end gear ratio is 'better ' than the 82. Could anyone shed some light on this AND most imprtantly, Kent, if your reading this, does your axel repair manual go over this, if not could you give me some main tips??? Thanks so much. James

Cold air filter available, possible oil blow by fix?

Hello, I have an old engine that is blowing by oil and making my air cleaner very oily, so in lieu of this I have seen cold air systems on 300tds ,& I was wondering if this would 'fix' my dielema of having to replace the air filter, because it is a direct system, seperating the air and oil. Am I understanding this right, I have only seen pictures so ... just wondering...any insight out there... Thanks ! James
