I have a w200 automatic 727 that I just bought. I was told by the previous owner that it drives good until it warms up, then the transmission stops pulling. I have drove it around my yard but never on the road due to this problem. Could it just need the bands adjusted? Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

It sounds like the internal transmission seals are going out. This means the unit needs to be rebuilt.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
