One finds it by ggling, there is a couple of pdf's floating around the net, regarding the 722.3/4 boxes. Seeing as I am trying to get my Mum's 722.4 to work properly I have looked at just about all of them, I have the box working well up until 4th, at which stage it likes to slip in gear

Well, the switch is not stuck, carpet was not interfering with it. The car only has first and second gear, doesn't get to third. The interesting part is that it used to leave a black smoke cloud large enough to obscure the car at and above 4000 rpm. Now it's smokeless, and seems to accelerate

Q sells at least 2. For a 124, you need to ask for the Mann. Those come in a yellow box, and you need to order the gasket separately. If you got the kit that was shrink wrapped to the card with gasket and filter, that could be your problem. There is something different about the 124

A restricted fuel filter can also cause shifting problems, but you'd probably notice having to push down farther on the accelerator more than before as well. On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 6:54 PM, Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote: Q sells at least 2. For a 124, you need to ask for the Mann.

Ja, but in that case it will shift into 3 and 4. It winds out further before it shifts because the cable position is wrong for normal. It will shift unexpectedly from 4 to 3. Often won't get into 4th unless you back off the throttle. A restricted fuel filter can also cause shifting
