1960 Merc, difficulties in engaging drive
Posted: Fri 19. Sep 2014, 03:27
Hi, I have 1960 Monterey, 383 + dual-range MultiDrive. The problem that I have, and one that's gradually gotten worse is that with cold engine/tranny any of the three forward drive modes do not want to engage. I need to warm the car up for 5-10 minutes before the tranny will engage. After that it works fine.
Engaging reverse, no problem cold or hot. Oil level correct, oil looks clean red and has no burnt smell. Where to search for fix? As it is working fine once warm, I'd suppose there is no fundamental failure but perhaps some adjustments needed.
