[W126 Coupe] Tranie Question

[Richard Hogarth]

There are going to be air and bubbles in the system for some time after
draining down the system all the way to the torque converter. 
Be patient, don't push it, let the tranny go through several heat up and
cool down cycles and continue to check the fluid level. 
Because of the air and bubbles in the system, the level will read higher
than it actually is.

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,
