Hi,
I own a '74 280CE* automatic which generally is a wonderfull car, but have recently noticed it to be leaking transmission fluid.
I've just taken it to my local mechanic ( not a Benz Specialist) and he called me up and said come on down and take a look. The fluid seems to be leaking from a seal at the gearbox drop down lever. In fact the seal seems to be a white plastic looking collar. He asked if i'd had anything done lately - only replaced the wiper switch a week or so ago - because the plastic seal looked quite new , but possibly this is so because it has been cleaned by the leaking transmission fluid would this be right and if so - how does one go about fixing it?
Oh, yeah, it's right hand drive as I live in Sydney Australia
