My 230SL Automatic runs and changes perfectly. One strange thing is if I don't drive the car for some time, especially having been laid up in the winter, when I start the car and put it into gear, nothing happens for a few seconds, and then slowly the car starts to move. Once warm, and if used each day its perfect again. Almost as if the oil in the gearbox is somehow draining away, and only returns once the car is put into gear.
Oil level (checked when hot and engine running) is fine, if anything slightly too much oil. Hasn't been changed for about 4k miles.
Not a real issue, but hopefully isn't signs of a bigger issue to come?
Any ideas? Is there an easy fix? (although nothing seems that easy with these cars)
