Unplug the kickdown solenoid and see what happens.

Subject: [R129 SL] Help with late 1-2 upshifts
My 91 300SL which I just got yesterday has a problem with late 1-2
upshifts. If I accelerate normally the up shift is very late and won't
happen in any case until about 4000 rpm. Other shifts are pretty
normal.
As with some Mercedes I suspected the transmission pressure cable was
too tight and a slight adjustment would fix it. WRONG !! Did that
today with no change other than to make the other shifts too early !!!!
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike in Morgantown, PA
