84 300D I posted this issue a couple of months back in September, but I lost email and password was not able to recover my account. Since then I put the car in storage and I just brought it out.


Backstory: I did a complete brake job on my car

• ATE front/rear calipers
• Flexible hoses (front/rear)
• Cardone Brake booster
• Cardone Master Cylinder

Bleed the brakes I drove the car but brakes started to feel soggy and not in a good way. What also happened in the making the calipers were locking up (rear ones) then I started smelling a rubber smokey smell from outside the car. It felt like something was holding the car back from driving. Pulled off to the side of road, saw my transmission from below was smoking!


Transmission shifts fine through 1-4 gear. P/R/D work fine

Before all this, before I even did the entire brake job the car driving so SMoooth!



Now I can't even drive the car around the block without it locking up
