Mercedes Injection Socket - Is it 33 or 32 spline??

I have a 1999 E300 TD. The seals in my injection pump are leaking like crazy. I think I'm leaking more fuel than I'm burning. Seems like a common problem as a result of using ultra low sulfur...

The automatic transmission always starts in 2nd gear. So it shifts from 2 to 3 to 4. That's it. 1st gear is only used if you smash the pedal to the floor from a complete stop.
