Wow, I sure didn't expect that; being called an idiot!
If you were doing your own wrenching, I apologize. If you
were using a 'trained' mechanic, then HE is the idiot!
It was explained to me, back when my tranny needed servicing,
that IF you take it out you ALWAYS replace those then-easy
seals

I could be wrong, but I think the front seal can be done WITHOUT removing the
front pump.

I have a 126 manual, and I think they are posted somewhere. I guess I
could put it up on Dropbox or something and y'all could download it.

I did misunderstand the comment, sorry about that. I don't have mercedes
mechanics in my area, and the M.B. dealer has told me that their staff are
younger then my car, so that about did it for me with the M.B. dealer doing
my work. I have found a Volvo mechanic that does a good job for me but he

I have transmission fluid leaking from my '87 300 SDL, had a garage
check
this out and they identified it was the Torque Converter leaking.
Replaced
the seal in the converter, now they state the front trans. pump is
leaking. What are they up against Thanks, Ralph,
Idiocy? It's more-or-less
