As to the "older" transmissions, the 1985 300D-T (W123.133, OM617.952) got the 722.416 transmission if it was a California version, a 722.315 if it was Federal. Both had been in use for several years at that point and continued to be used (on diesels, at least) until the 722.6 was introduced in 1997. Both were and are reliable boxes but anything can break. Some kind of internal TC failure sounds reasonable to me.

Internal TC failures normally make horrible noises. Often cause a TC lock up.
