Question1968 mercedes 450SL. The transmission is 2 yrs old. running good. The trans fluid leaked out on the street and emptied. i refilled it and drove it 1 mile home shifting perfectly well. Strangely overnight, it is still full of fluid, but will not shift into gears. What do you think is wrong? Thank you in advance
AnswerAnswer:
Did you check the transmission fluid level with the engine running?
The next possible issues are failed B pistons and/or transmission pump.
I am adding some other links that may help you.
