Re: Another tranny question

[JJ <jchistia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is "no kick-down" an issue only when you floor it, or, could you "baby" it 
and let it shift by itself to limp along?

I ask because I have a 1991 MB 300 SL that has an electric kick-down which I 
do not think is working.  (The car is a labyrinth of electrical issues.) I 
have been driving it but have avoided "flooring" it.

(IMHO, the MB engineers may have been great mechanical engineers, but their 
electrical/electronic skills were challenged.)
