Do you need special tools to change the tailshafts????...JIm

I dont think so, but I did make a mistake, I need the cable driven, not the electric, I actually will have an extra electric one.

On the manuals and 123 auto tranny tailshafts I've messed with, it will take a thin-walled 30mm (I could not find one locally and had to order from Samstag) socket to remove the retaining nut. I do not have 1st hand experience with the 126 but I have heard that some, maybe all, of the 126 trannies have a different style of retaining nut that apparently cannot be removed with the regular socket.
