Sticking in second gear
94 c280, 115k miles. Drives great except second gear seems to stick. It has been doing this for a few weeks now.
If I let off the gas it will shift around 3000rpms, or if I drive very slow it will shift around 2500-3000rpms. Shift is still smooth, just holds on, and can hold as long as 4500 rpms before upshifting. I just changed the fluid and it is at the proper level. No burned smell, dark color etc. No CEL either.
Thought I might have a vacuum leak since my passenger door lock is slow to go down lately too. But not sure if the two of them are correlated.
The rest of the car is in immaculate shape.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
