and artistry of the working people doing this for a living. There is a
crafts revolution in this country.

It has a TC. The thing would only move under power at L prior to installing
the linkage bushings. Now it is able to find all gears and engages within a
second. Then it dies. Lugging of the engine. The vehicle does move in the

I'm far from a transmission expert, never worked on one, but I have studied
their operation a bit. Purely a guess, but if the torque converter were locked
up, effectively there would be no "clutch", and it would die immediately when
either forward or reverse was engaged.

What happens with it spinning the rear wheels on jackstands if you gently
apply the brakes?

I would guess a stuck clutch, but am not sure which one.
Certainly if one of the over-running clutches is stuck the
transmission will lock up (be in two forward gears at once) when
attemping to roll forward.
What exactly is wrong and whether or not it will fix itself if you get
it to move
I am con-fuddled. The engine works just great. Lights off, but put it in
gear, the engine locks up and dies. Neutral switch is good, as it will not
allow starting in gear, only N and P.I needed to move the car and was able
to rev it then pop into gear to get it to grunt and roll a bit, th

Somehow, the Times’ vaunted phalanx of fact-checkers missed the statement on the
NRA’s site explaining that properly licensed attendees were free to tote to
their heart’s content. And no
No.
A P1747 error means the electronics in the transmission are unable to
communicate with the electronics in the instrument cluster (A1 module) via the
CAN bus. It’s a pretty typical error that often indicates the connector on the
transmission harness is the original one without an O ring.

I never heard of one before, but this one definitely has the reservoir under the

SLS only affects the back - the front is strictly coil springs and nothing
else. My 1998 S420 sits really low in front for a W140 chassis, but it rides
just fine. The "tail" of the right front spring is broken off for reasons

That’s what I was wondering. I’m thinking it’s an orifice tube system.
I’m pretty sure it’s got a decent charge, as I got about half a can in and
nothing really changed. It was pulling a vacuum when I cheated the low
pressure switch to get it going initially.
Thanks!

Is the a cycling clutch orifice tube system? If so, it will not have
an expansion valve, just a fixed orifice tube at the evaporator, and
will not have a reciever/dryer at the cold side of the condensor, just
a line from the condenser to the evaporator. On the cold side (large
hose) of th
Very little charge.
You need to find the leak and fix it, then change the receiver/dryer
or accumulator (depending on system) to renew the drying agent, then
recharge.
Short cycles with low pressure differential means it comes on, the low
side pressure drops below the minimum, and the com

Could have a bad coil. I wonder how he determined it needs plugs?

Shorting low pressure switch does allow the compressor to come on.
Compressor does come on on it's own, albeit for very short cycles, maybe 2-3
