In reading about Changing the B2 piston on my 84 300td, I have neglected to comprehend how little the transmission drops down after removing the rear support bracket... thus it looks like (to me) that the transmission may have to come out, which will be really difficult in my driveway.

So now I have drained the tranny fluid, with the car on jack stands.... and woundering if I should continue digging into this issue, or drop back and punt.

Does any one have experience replacing the B2 piston with the transmission in the car on a 300td?

Or am I better of in the long run, accepting that this is not a "one day" Job for me and make plans for pulling the transmisson out?

all Opinions welcome,
Jason
