transmission problem B2 piston bore seal?
My 300 SD Turbodiesel (w116, 1980) is currently grounded because of transmission problems. The car has 260 k miles on the clock.
Here is what happened: - the transmission was flaring the past 5 months, the gears switched too early (only in L it switched correctly from 1st to 2nd). - the rear gear engaged only after a couple of seconds - past week the transmission only shifted into gears if I hit the accelerator very hard - now the car is sitting in my driveway not shifting anymore at all ![]() Here is what I did so far: - changed the transmission filter and fluid - changed the bushing in the rod from the selector to the transmission - changed the modulator and adjusted it correctly -> all this has no effect: transmission is not engaging Now what I was thinking of doing next: - replace the B2 piston bore seal (however the dieselgiant.com page only offers this for the w123/w126 but not for my w116, also peachparts.com doesn't have this part), so I have no idea where to get it and if this is even the solution - the next thing would be to check if the transmission fluid is pumped through the cooler: any advice how to check this? Any other suggestions? Sebastian |
