ok a couple problems, one more major, the other pretty minor.

first, the car in question is a 2000 C230 kompressor. i've been getting quite hard 1-2 shifts and 2-1 shifts are hard and late causing me to be unable to slow to a stop smoothly. the 2-1 shift makes the car lurch forward as if it was about to stall like with a manual transmission. any thoughts. the transmission has been tampered with before because it is missing the filler neck lock.

second problem, my stock radio can't keep a strong signal. at times the signal and sound is crystal clear but most of the time, it's muffled. any suggestions?


ohh and one more thing. climate control fan is whining very loudly and the fan speed is erratic at times.(i have the fan speed set at 2 all the time, sometimes the fan blows super hard and then just slows way down)i have the knob type control not the automatic.
