Re: [MBZ] Cheap Mercedes, W126 rebuild
When you're talking about rebuilding them like that, you have to plan to drive the money out. The value will be in the service, enjoyment, and pride you get from the car, not it's resale value. I started down that path with the SLC, but kind of lost interest after I got the 124 chassis. Now I'm looking to get rid of the SLC and get another 124 - Now my debate is to get rid of my 1985 300SD or go through the same process on it. It has 300k miles on it and needs a complete rebuild. I am thinking it would be fun, but wonder if I would get any money out of it in the end. I am thinking I would be better off buying a 300SDL and rebuilding it, I just love the long wheel base W126s.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap Mercedes, W126 rebuild
However to drive a perfect W126 is kind of priceless. I have hopes that someday I can get to our SDL and render it prideful again. Note I took lots of pictures of the transmission rebuild if anyone is interested. Just how far did you go? All bands? All clutches? Pistons? Or just seals and valve body itty-bitties? -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Cheap Mercedes, W126 rebuild
Well, the transmission shifted fine except for slipping in 3rd, which is common symptom of worn out clutches. Thus I generally just replace the clutches and the seals. I do not go into the valve body unless there is a problem, and the valve body can be rebuilt with transmission in car. As far as bands go, they are very expensive and I have not seen them worn out on cars with 300k miles. As far as pistons I will replace the B2 if it has the older version, but the 1991 had the newer version, when I did my 1987 420SEL it had the older B2 and thus I replaced it.
