[W126 Coupe] Tranny Troubles

[Matt Petersen]

Don't believe so. You can adjust the modulator pressure to firm up the
shifts however this will also increase the firmness of the downshifts which
will most likely make them very hard.
 
If you don't have the $$$ to do a rebuild then I would increase the
modulator pressure as much as possible and easy off the gas every time you
get the 2-3 upshift. It's likely that the trans will last for quite a while
longer if you take it easy and do frequent fluid changes.
 
Matt.

I think you hit the nail on the head, since I recently changed the filter
and tranny fluid levels in the spring and the level is OK, it seems the
clutch is the issue.  Is there any way to fix this without a rebuilt tranny
or tranny overhaul?

Not quite sure what those values are you refer to but it
sounds like the trans is flaring on the 2-3 upshift.

Flaring is usually related to clutch slip but can also occur
with dirty or low fluid levels.

When was the fluid and filter last changed?
