I recently aquired a W123, 1985 230e Automatic. I have the following problems:
1. She only shifts to second gear when in "D", or the lower gears
2. Gearbox / Diff makes a loud "clanging" noise when you drive slowly and gears shift up.
I`m not a merc fundi as this is my first. Any ideas?

If the shift is very hard then the is a pipe for the vacuum modulator off, this is the most common problems
