Other models have that provision.
thanks.
Do you mean you are looking for a special tool as in "a key" or are you looking for a trick / method to adjust the shifting behaviour.

In either case you need to post up the transmission type - what's it going to be a 722.108? - and whether it has a vacuum modulator as well as a throttle linkage - or both or not - or just an adjustment screw for the modulator pressure - or not!

The 722.118 - the subject of this thread - is very specific to particular W123 300Ds from about 1980(ish). Furthermore I've only covered the mechanical pulling it to bits and putting it back together - as I said in the beginning of the thread adjusting the bloody things is a whole different ball game. That's a whole different thread.

To get an idea of what you may need to do have a look at this thread on the wiki
