I'm trying to get some info for getting my transmission to work properly. Sure, I've been doing searches, but almost all good info doesn't work for me! What I mean is that they're usually for 617 cars and/or different tranny. Where's the love for my '87 300D with the 722.3xx and 603?

I need TDM info for my transmission, how to change out the leaky modulator, and a list of everything to check for.

The last thing I did was a proper VCV adjustment and turn the transmission's modulator 1 notch CW. I did the modulator adjustment to experiment and see if I could get better shifts. I adjusted the rubber cap's fitting so it contained the leaking better but it's just a band-aid for now.

It used to shift hard and bad before but now it's just flaring. I'm definitely happier because it's more comfortable to drive but I want to get this right and without good info I'm experimenting and half-a**ing everything. I'm a perfectionist and I can't have it like this.

Thanks!
