Interesting turn tonight on both my cars. I talked to Don Plowman, the previous owner of my 1987 300D. He replaced the engine and did the trap oxydizer recall on the car. It was his wife's daily driver. He is the senior mechanic for Hendricks Mercedes here in Charlotte. He has worked there for 32 years. We first talked about the turbo that blew on the '87, and then the 240D. After we got past the "how much do you want for the car", we discussed the transmission issue. Tomorrow I am pulling the trans pump. It sound quite simple and it would explain what happened. with the car. I will follow up tomorrow. If I didn't get up at 4:10 every morning, I would be out there now working on it. The turbo will have to wait for the weekend as he has me looking for a relay issue.
