[MBZ] 722.3xx K1 Piston Spring Replacement

Anyone ever done the K1 piston spring replacement on their 722.3xx transmission? I noticed the 2-3 upshift on the 300D is kind of sloppy so I’ll be checking the vacuum side, but I noticed that Mercedes put out a modified or updated spring kit for the K1 that can be installed to address this,

Re: [MBZ] By The Power of Greysk.....

IIRC, on the VWs we just swapped out a 12V coil. It’s been 30+ years since I’ve done one, so my memory is a little sketchy. I don’t recall it taking a great deal of work to accomplish, though. That was back in the day when we would take scrap welding cable and make it into battery

Re: [MBZ] By The Power of Greysk.....

Our kit came with a resistor for the coil. I want to get a 12v coil, the resistor pack makes a lot of heat and seems like it could get snagged on bushes and whatnot. -Curt From: Dan Penoff via Mercedes To: Mercedes List Cc: Dan Penoff

Re: [MBZ] By The Power of Greysk.....

I did numerous 6V to 12V conversions on VWs some years ago, and it didn’t hurt a thing. The starters turned over in a heartbeat, but unless you really ground on them it wouldn’t hurt them at all. In these cases it was just a 12V generator and replacement of all the lamps. Radio, too. I

Re: [MBZ] By The Power of Greysk.....

A short blip shouldn't hurt anything, you're only 50% over voltage. Last summer we converted our '52 Farmall Super M to 12v from 6v. The tractor has always started on the first or second compression stroke but sometimes with 6v it was tough getting there. On 12v the starter flips the engine over

Re: [MBZ] Flat breather hose.

The 85 wagon had the clamp and tube version on it, which I replaced when I saw the appropriate oe flat version appear on ebay. The flat one came on the SD primarily I believe. I think a lot of these tubes have been switched over the years. They do seem to cut down on oil in the intake. On Nov
