Bushings are a few bucks and fairly quick and non-invasive. Car probably would not suffer having fresh ones. Then you can mess with the internals if that fix was not right clay On Jan 22, 2016, at 8:25 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > I think it's a matter of putting the transmission

I don't know about that but have you checked the bushings? They went bad on one of the SDs and it was almost impossible to get it in gear forward or reverse. --R On 1/22/16 11:08 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Does lack of reverse engagement in a W126 mean a failed B2 piston? I

I think it's a matter of putting the transmission selector in "R" but the car not backing up. Good thing to check, though. Thanks! Dan Sent from my iPad > On Jan 22, 2016, at 11:16 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes > wrote: > > I don't know about that but have you checked
