My old bus has 75 K , transmission works as it should no real issues my only question is that when on a downward slope say queing for a junction, what i have noticed is that if you let the brakes off with no throttle , the car rolls forward until about 10 mph, around this speed if left long enough the transmission feels as if its holding the car back like some one dabbing the brakes has anyone else noticed this ? it only does it on down hill slopes

So i thought i would change the oil anyway, wont do any harm as it can make quite a difference, long ago i had a 230E 123 auto the first second change was awful and though it would need a new transmission, took it to a specialist who changed the AFT and it was like new again,.......happy days memory lane over !

So anyone else have similar

I think that your car is normal , if you change the fluid you should get the smoother changes the recomended is around 40k
