Shifting
After driving my '83 TD for a couple years and NEVER being satisfied with the shifting, I am convinced that the only fix was a conversion to a manual tranny. It truely is the best thing I have ever done for the car. (see other threads relating to this issue) The web is loaded with advice about curing the w123 tranny glitches. That was my first clue! I tried all things possible short of a rebuild ($2.5-$3k minimum) and the cost of a conversion, doing my own work, was about $900. I love it! - Jacob
