Are all these 240D`s that you guys have to keep floored (peddle to the metal) automatics?
I really don`t have this problem with my 80 240D manual trans.

I agree as to Mbeige said.
Things have to be properly adjusted and working correctly to maximize max pwr.

I had this part fail on my 240, the rubber was tearing in two. so I could
not get to full movement to the linkage.

This part was used on the 80 240D and SD. Not sure of the 300D or if only one yr or???

Here is the thread on that.
Throttle Linkage Part

Here is another type the fell apart.


Here is the thread on that
Is this the throttle bushing? 240D

Make sure all the Ball and Sockets on the linkages are lubed. Most I see
in the yards haven`t see any type of lube in years and are rusty.
