Re: [MBZ] Fwd: '84 300CD Auto Transmission leaking

I had an 83 and an 85 (coupe and wagons) but not an 84 so am partially informed as to your issues. When did you last service the transmission? Is it original with the car? Mileage? If a lot of fluid leaked out, the transmission may already be damaged. What are they quoting you to flush,

I would expect the majority of folks on this forum to suggest: 1.Do not get it flushed. 2.Change the filter and fluid and use M1 ATF. 3.With any luck at all the M1 will improve the quality of the seals and it won't leak. On 28/08/2014 2:10 PM, Ralph Robertson via Mercedes wrote:

That would be my advice based on my 82 CD 3 other 123 124 diesels. On Aug 28, 2014 3:50 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: I would expect the majority of folks on this forum to suggest: 1.Do not get it flushed. 2.Change the filter and fluid and use M1 ATF.
