Hi
I have just joined with the acquisition of a 1983 230TE Wagon and am new to the breed. The transmission take a few seconds to make the change from reverse to 1 after the lever is moved it continues to move backwards for a 2-4 seconds , is this normal?
Also when starting cold the transmission seems to be having a hard time selecting first gear with the revs rising and falling without the sensation of positive power being delivered to the drive and it will, at times, fail to climb a steep gradient without a runup. This is far less noticeable with after 10 minutes or so.
Is this also a normal phenomenon?
Any advice or informed comments most appreciated
