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.

Auto Trans Gasket Leaking

Hi. This evening I was changing the filter and pan seal on my 1982 240d automatic transmission. When I put it all back together and poured the fluid in, it leaked out of the side of the pan pretty fast. I'm sure the seal is on correctly and I did'nt over tighten the bolts. I really need help on this since I wont be able to drive until I fix this. Any help would be very extremly appreciated.

560SEL Euro Manual ?

I recently bought a 1986 560 SEL which has been imported into australia i know not from where, but most likley from japan. The trouble is it has no owners manual or workshop one. The aircon does not work nor the sunroof and the brakes work but the brake pedal bounces now and again when applied hard. the car stops ok but is a worry to me.the merc dealer here can only supply an owners manual for a 1988/89. Would this be suitable for my car?

79 450 SL - Front end wandering

Car new to me, suspect car was in accident at some point. When driving 50-70mph on well worn freeways with deep "trucker tracks" the car wants to climb, or will make sudden directional changes. On normal roadways the car tracks perfectly stright and handles high speed curves with grace! When breaking the car breaks normally. Installed new front wheel bearings, no change. What items need to be checked? Tech info sugests sub-frame busing kit? Thanks RRC44
