[W126 Coupe] Tranie Question

[Shayegan, Richard]

When hot (and I mean hot), it should be just up to the max line (mine
actually will bleed out to where it's like 75% towards the max side in
between the two marks if I fill it to the max line) if you get it hot,
stop, put it in P, wait 2 seconds, R, wait 2 seconds, N wait, D, wait,
and then back (again with waiting between shifts), then let it idle for
60-120 seconds then check it.
 
If you check it cold (i.e. at shop temperature) with the engine running,
run it through the gears with a wait between shift, it should be
slightly below the min-line, IIRC 5mm below on the 722.3 transmission.

	Including the torque converter I put in 8 qts.  When I check the
dip stick it shows it being a little low but not much.  I got on the
freeway yesterday and purposly kept my foot on the gas and it got up to
70 MPH before it kicked into 4th gear.  I'll check the oil level again.

		It could be either. Check it on the dipstick. Both are
very very bad. How much did you put in? IIRC it takes about 8qts.

			I recently serviced my 420SEL's transmission,
including getting the oil out of the torque converter and a new filter.
Ever since then the gears don't change unless I let off the gas for a
quick moment.  Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?  Is it not enough
oil or too much?  I had no problem before the service.
			 
			Thanks,
