On a very cold morning I drove my '94 E420 to work, drove fine. When I went to come home it kept 'slipping' out of gear. I would start to move, then the transmission would disengage. Put it into neutral, back into drive, wait for it to engage, then start again and it would disengage again. Tried it around the parking lot for 10 minutes, kept happening, The same happened regardless of the gear I put it into, but if I put it into first and started off slowly I could get moving, then I would carefully upshift and I was able to get home. By the time I got home, everything seemed normal, no problems. Checked the transmission fluid, it was fine.

For what it's worth the shifts have been occasionally rough for the last few years, but nothing terrible.

Any ideas? Similar experiences?

Thanks!! -- Greg

Well that is not normal---the issue will be trying to find someone familiar with your transmission who can quickly diagnose the problem with the valve body!!
