I'm not too familiar with the 240 transmission but given the year and that it's a Mercedes I would be surprised if it didn't have synchros on the first gear. Manfred All MB manual 4 speeds since at least 1959, (and I believe all postwar cars) Are fully synchronized, including first. Reverse

You are correct on the symptom except its ONLY for reverse. All other gears are fine and reverse would grind when you're moving anyway. -Curt Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 08:31:23 -0400 From: MG To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Weird trans issue - '78 240D Message-ID: <
