The first step in getting your W123 shifting perfectly is making sure the maintenance is up to par. (This same procedure and series will also apply to nearly every Mercedes of the similar era that uses a 722 series automatic transmission, you may just need to track down a slightly different filter or pan gasket.)
After well over 200,000 miles, and 40 years on the road, I have no idea when or if the transmission fluid has ever been changed in my W123.
Figured with the quantity of longer trips we've been doing it might be a good idea to change it out.
