'80 diesel transmissions?

What transmission does my '80 300D (NA 123 car) have? Owner's manual is gone I don't see a modulator on the trans as with other '80s models.

The car shifts perfectly 'cept for the 'ol 2-3 flare. No slippage between other shifts. Does the K1 kit apply to this model?

Lots of discussion on the 2-3 flare, but all seems to apply to the turbo models.

Question 2. Front rotors are warped, and have been for about a year. I dont drive this car during the winter months, but I would like to fix this problem now. Do I need to repack the wheel bearings, or just replace pads and rotors?

Thanks.

brakes

dont know about the k1 kit.
pads and rotors should cure your flutter.
