AUTO TRANS. IN PROCESS OF REPAIR - NEED FEEDBACK 200 1980

Hello,

The 1980 244, suffered from slipping 3rd. to 2nd. gear. Some colleagues suggested a stuck overdrive cable, while others saw doomsday for the auto trans.

So. I drained the bottom tray and checked the cable (which is functioning fine) but found out that the recenly replaced trans. oil filter was full of muck.

How can this be, it was even dirtier than when I replaced it 3 months ago, and the car was standing for several months before?

Could this have caused the slippage?

Anyway, now, until any of you advise - the oil tray is empty. Should I drain more oil from elsewhere and refill the whole trans. with fresh oil? Is this possible (I know about the 2 liter at a time as Sven's Maintainer said).

Waiting for your kind reply,

Gadi
