Hi
Front seal on transmission started leakeing pretty badly. ready to pull and change the 9.00 item i read in another post about also changing the front pump bushing does anyone know were this is located? is it the needle bearings behind the front seal? the exploded view i got of the pump doesnt show anything in it called a bushing.


thanks
charlie

If you have the later version with a needle bearing then you won't need to change it unless the bearing is munched (not too likely, I think)

OK pulled the trans then when i slide the converter off the brass parts of the bushing were on it . The benz parts guy told me the bushing is almost impossible to get? the needle bearing type is available could i put the needle bearing bushning in place of the solid one?

Thanks

Any ideas
Thanks

try http://www.bulkpart.com for parts. Can't imagine that not being available, that's just silly. BTW, they are extremely inexpensive, as you can see.
