Welcome to USMB.

 

I guess you're in Europe somewhere?

 

Please update your profile so we know what continent/country.

 

If your cars are the same search here for "delayed forward engagement" as some folks here have done well with a miracle cure in a can fixing the delayed engagement on 99's.

 

The air suspension I can't help you with but others probably can.

thank you !

i am in the UK profile updated lol , red the post & will try to obtain a can of slip & leak fluid & see what happens :)

That was a specific brand that was working for those folks.

 

To confirm does your trans have a spin on external filter? Somewhat up by the drivers front axle?

yes it has a spin on canister / filter !

which was changed last year (october) along with the fliud

It sounds like your struts (inside the air bags suspension) have gone out. I am experiencing this in my gl10 and since they are factory sealed there's nothing you can do besides replace the whole unit.

a buddy of mine had one of those first legacy wagons with ride height adjustment and the air suspension. he just ended up putting in some regular struts in there place.
