Transmission kicks down, won't upshift

I bought a 1981 300D, and replaced the old transmission with a working used one. At this time, the car runs smoothly, however the transmission kicks down into a lower gear too often/frequently. Instead of going into 3rd from 4th, it drops to 2nd, etc... It delays upshifting, lifting off the accellorator helps... Also: The dash lights, climate control, and radio do not work but the fuses seem fine... Any Ideas! Thanks!

Water in 123 right rear floorboard

Hi all - I have a strange problem with my grandfather's 85 300D. After a rain, it gets water in the rear floorboard. It's on the passenger side, and it puddles in the lowest part of the floorboard next to the transmission tunnel, ahead of the seat riser panel. I took the carpet section up to try to find the source of the leak, but I have no idea where it's coming from. There is a new exterior door seal on the pass rear door. I removed the seat bottom, and found $1.53 in coin, but no evidence of water passing through.

window regulator

by using Kents 126 door repair book,I changed out my window regulator and motor in 30 minutes.its best to know how,they ain't made like Chevy's. One more thing,Mercedes Source has got Diesel Giant,and Performance Parts 4 Benz beat,with shipping times. So if you need it fast and Kent's got it,you know what to do.
