[W126 Coupe] Running rough

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Kelly,

If it's shifting smoothly it is not a vacuum issue.  If it is banging hard
into gears, it is the vacuum line to the modulator from the intake manifold.

You will need to have a mechanic go over the engine mounts, electrics and
fuel to see what's a miss I'm afraid if the shifting is smooth.

Hopefully, it won't be too painful where you are already down 2 g's.  What
sort of warranty did they give you for that kind of $?

Best of luck,
Dick
