I've had the W124 300E for about 4 months now. Slight leak when I got it.
cheched the fluid on a regular basis and topped up. Seals seem to have
tightened up now, and no leaks, or if so, very very slight. Will soon
change to Mobil 1 but figured why bother until things tightened up a
little. Eng
I had no warning but in hindsight it would have been smarter had I done the
occasional fluid check and search for leaks/spots.

Not sure if I am concerned. Is this a DI

Not sure if I am concerned. Is this a DIY job?

Since I own an '83, and two people have now mentioned catastrophic
transmission fluid loss -- I have to ask, in retrospect were there any
warning signs? Unexplai
East Coast Transmissions in Alexandria, VA rebuilt it in both cases.
The second time around a catastrophic fluid loss was instrumental in its
demise...

Did the shop actually rebuild the trans or did they replace it with a
rebuilt unit? I've heard many transmissions in this era were replaced
when all they really needed was the B-2 repair.

For a W123 turbo it depends on WHICH transmission.
My 1983 300TD had a major rebuild at 140K miles and then again at 200K
miles. Now I'm at 282K
For a W123 turbo it depends on WHICH transmission.
My 1983 300TD had a major rebuild at 140K miles and then again at 200K
miles. Now I'm at 282K miles and running strong!
The 1985 300CD AT is still untouched at 212 K miles.
The 1985 transmissions were improved to the point where they simply don

Dad's '85TD (from Royce) has 300kmi on the clock and no major tranny work.
Services were regular and up-to-date. Drives very well with no slipping or
flaring.

My 300 TD has about 230k on it when first gear would not engage from
time to time about 3 years ago...cost to replace today is about 4 to 5k
at a dealer in the US.

I know many of you say a W123 diesel will go pretty much forever, but what
about the average auto trans in a W123? How many miles are they good for if
well taken care of, and on the flipside, at what mileage do problems start
to show up in examples that haven't been so well loved?
