[W126 Coupe] Transmission Problems with upshifting

[Jonathan]

Did anyone check to see if the kick down switch is stuck?

I'd unplug it just to be sure.  Also might check the linkage make sure 
it hasn't slipped Way out of adjustment.

Typically when I see mod's fail you still have all your forward gears.

Could also be some gunk has made its way into the valve body.

How many miles on the car?
