It seems I am going one step forward one step backward. Modulator was replaced on tranny. Car still shifts on the positive side but much smoother. But in the process I lost the kick down. Also when I come to a stop there is a noticeable clunk with the final downshift to first.
I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

Just got my MS vaccuum kit the other day... 2nd issue to diagnose (after my door vaccuum leaks this weekend) is the ventilation system. Very odd behavior...
Mercedes does not carry the speaker vinyl speaker cover any longer. So my next step is to try and repair. How do I remove the cover? it appears that it may snap in and out, but I don't want to force it and break something.
I adjusted my valves for the first time a few weekends ago. Two exhaust and one intake needed adjustment. Engine runs better but it seems to ping more when it's cold. Is this normal and/or OK. I certain that I did the adjustment correctly. Thanks.
I/P timing seems to wonder when checking. Car ran fine but in the quest to make sure my timing is set to 24 BTDC I noticed that it was moving around. I thought timing chain stretch so bought the kit, installed and I/P timing still moves from between BTDC to ATDC. I'm not able to get it even close to the correct timing spot. Help!!
My fuel reserve light did not come on with 1 gallon of fuel remaining in the tank. Is this a DIY job? Thanks.
