Original to the car at the time I got the 300D. Right now the car is parked on
a slope until I get dry day to pull it out to a flat area and jack up again.
While it was on the stands, I slid the transmission into gear both with brake
on and without. Reverse did spin up but Drive was less
Well, no fuel would make it low on power.

I am used to the goofy oil filter. Same as it was in Gump.
The fuel filter I took out was a garbage FLAPS paper thing. The HENGST is
fabric/felt and really closed cell. It took a long time to absorb fuel on
insertion, while the FLAPS junk gushed itself empty.
I am sort of unhappy I sold all
I adjusted idle knob to lots so it would start easier. Still have to keep it
up to to keep the car running happily. I have not fired it off since
installing the filter. I am trying to extricate the power steering pump to
deal with the leak. Dang thing is hiding between the radiator, vac
Those Germans do love to stuff things in, eh? That 300D is probably
the worst case up to when they put plastic covers on everything to
make the engine compartment pretty.
Changing oil is pure pain on those cars, too.

for a bad TC. When the internal bearings in the TC go bad the

the spacing is very close there. When that

research, the more I suspect the stator is mess up, as it would be making the

It is possible for the TC to weld itself together. Have you tried
putting it in gear without foot on brake, so it is free to roll when
the engine wants to turn the tran input shaft?
Is this the original trans or did you put in a different one?
jack up the rear end an put it in gear without
I am still trying to figure that out. Supposed to at least spin up the input
side even with the car not in gear because the thing is directly hooked to the
motor. Sticking it into gear would engage something so the spinning will

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,
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

What happens with it spinning the rear wheels on jackstands if you gently
apply the brakes?
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.
Can a torque converter

I need to do a brake job, as the parking brake does not work and the front
