[QUOTE=73Elsinore;2391846]Right on, thanks for the answers. I am planning this job for sometime in the next six months. My car is a 1993 300E with the 2.8 M104 motor. My car has started the dreaded reverse-delay problem which means 'trans rebuild time' since I have 142 k miles on it.


It's fairly straight forward. Let me know if you have any questions, because I sure did. Since you're working with the M104 motor it should be easier to remove the transmission. I bought an overhaul kit with clutches from wittrans.com for $225 or so. Also, the manual states that you need several special tools, but the only "special" tool I needed was a 12pt 30mm deep thin-walled socket, which is harder to find that you think... it's to take of the nut on the tail shaft. Um, just remember how you took everything out so you can put it back in.
