no i did not get a vaccum guage, hehe. i guess the trans had not been getting any vacuum at all for the 7.5 years i have owned the car - i just thought that was the way it was .. that is until i drove yours
i feel like i missed out a bit, duh, but on the bright side if i liked the w123 before i like it even more now !
think it just needs a bit of fine tuning with the bowden cable to make it real nice :p
