Hi Loren,
Agree with everything you said. My 78 240D starts instantly in all
weather -- but the MB AT is a poor excuse for a transmission. A 5 speed
would be wonderful - even a 4 speed considering the torque these engines
have - would be much better than the AT. You're right about the ride -
Perhaps the connections where the lines that go to the AT cooler are loose?
They connect at the engine/tranny. Also, the dipstick tube attaches to the

autozone sells a set of large allen sockets - 12, 14 and 16mm, IIRC.
They're $10 for the set. the 14mm one fits the rear diff and the manual
gearbox drain plugs. the 12mm one fits the manual transmission drain plug
on a classic Saab 900. Worth their weight in silver.

You obviously have not been paying attention have you, the problem is
that the oil pump takes a few seconds to prime and during this time
there is no oil circulating. If you leave the car overnight more oil
will drain off the internals and leave them exposed to harsh metal on

Thx Peter --
I'll check the bulbs - it dropped out maybe once or twice a month - but

Hopefully it's not the amp. The operating stalk is like new. no play at
