That depends on the vintage of the 123. My '79 required an easy adjustment.

Re: [MBZ] Transmission Question

2016-01-22 Thread Scott Ritchey via Mercedes
There are two sets of bushings.  Large (like 1/2 inch dia) sleeves on the
transverse (trunnion) axis of the shifter (for the fore-aft motion of the
stick) and smaller snap-in bushings on the bottom of the shifter assembly
(under the car) and on the transmission shift lever.  The round rod that
connects the shifter and transmission pokes through these small bushings and
is retained by a spring clip.  You can replace the small ones working under
the car but it can be a pig to snap the new bushings into the holes (shifter
and transmission) without the special tool or a home-made jig (washers, a
nut and bolt, and a sleeve), especially if it's cold outside.  The snap
clips (that retain the rod in the bushing) is very easy to lose (sproiing,
oh crap!).  If you plan to do the big bushings it's easier to remove the
shifter (which you need to do anyway) and work through the hole from above.
My old 79 TD shifter was very loose when I first got it but it felt like
brand new after I replaced both sets of bushings.  The big bushings in my 82
SD still seem OK but (several years back) I heard a "buzz" from under the
car which turned out to be a failed (missing) small bushing.  As I recall, I
lost the spring clip and also had to remove the transmission lever from the
car to pop in the new small bushing.  In both cases the cars still shifted
OK with damaged bushings but I can see how there would be a problem if the
linkage adjustment was marginal.

I'll second the vote for M1 ATF.  The transmission in my '87 300TD just
seems to get better and better, I'm on the second change of M1 ATF in
that car.  I still think the torque converter is bad but haven't been
able to find documented stall speed yet - don't think the M1 is going to
fix that for me.

But you don't notice it? And this was a tire store, not a Mercedes specialist?

If you apply brake and throttle for a few seconds with the selector in L (like 
3-5 seconds, not a long time) where does the tachometer stabilize?


Sorting out the transmission controls can be quite a task, especially if 
somebody has buggered it up already.

I would first try a change of fluid and filter, using Mobil 1 ATF.  I
have been very pleased with this fluid in my car.

I believe your car would be one of those with a transmission prone to a
failure of the B2 piston.  Symptoms are slipping out of or not engaging
1st gear, flaring shift into 2nd, but 3rd and 4th work normally.

Typically the failure occurs without warning but in my 300D it seemed
that there was some flaring for a few months before the piston
completely failed.  Luckily the repair is not complicated, though many a
shop will probably tell the owner they need a new transmission if they
are not familiar with this problem.

[MBZ] Transmission question

2008-09-21 Thread Wonko the Sane
The tranny slippage on my 240D (automatic) in reverse seems to be getting
worse and worse.

I still can't find that adjustment bolt that sometimes backs out -- maybe
Kaleb can point it out next time he is in Iowa.

But I checked the fluid level, thinking maybe it was low, when we got back
from a 30 miles drive. The fluid level is about an inch above the maximum
mark. This is probably because the last guy who checked it didn't know to go
an inch below minimum if the fluid wasn't up to temperature. I think this
happened with I had the transmission flushed a couple of years ago.

Would having too much fluid in the system have anything to do with slipping
going backwards?  (Probably not but worth asking.)

2008-09-21 Thread OK Don
I thought the issue with an over-full tranny was that the fuid gets
whipped up into a froth - then can't lubricate parts, resulting in a
tranny that grinds its self to bits. Maybe it starts with reverse?

Re: [MBZ] Transmission Question

So this would lead me to wonder if I could also get almost any transmission
from a w126 to work in my 82 300SD as well?  I'm sure that the auto in a
w123 300D will.  Of course what I would like is to replace the
atomatic with a 5 speed manual.  Are there any that would work, that I could
find, and could afford, and be able to just essentially bolt in?  I realize
there are issues as far as pedal setups, and the actual linkage.
