1992 500 SEL Trans Problems
I am a newbie to the forum and have just bought my first mercedes, a car I am already in love with. After driving many Lincolns and Cadillacs, there truly is no comparison! I have bought a 1992 500 SEL from an estate. The car has not been driven for a couple of years. It drove wonderful on my way home the first day. The second day I drove it I noticed a slight transmission slip. It was low on fluid. I topped it off with fluid and now it seems to rev quite high before shifting. It does not seem like the traditional slip to me when a trans is on its way out. When I first drove the car home the speedometer did not work. Now it does...is it just a fluke or is there possibly a computer issue going on? I also have a 95 500 sel with slight front end damage that I bought as a parts car if anyone is in need of anything. The rest of the car is intact and in very good condition. Thanks in advance for everyones help!!!!
