as i need to replace the transmission mount on the 300E, does any body know what the difference is bewteen the 722.3 and the 722.4 box so i can order the parts?

the other thing i was after is - how many diff mounts are there?

my merc dealer service centre says all four require replacing whereas the research i have done indicates that there are only two there?

many thanks

Kaiser,

I can look for answers in my EPC but I need to know the year of your car or the 6 first digits of the serial number ( W 124 XXX ).
There are 4 mounts when you take the 2 engine mounts into account.
Are the mounts used or are the transmission mounts eaten up by oil ? This happens regularly when there is/was an oil leak on the engine or the tranny.
In that case the flex coupling would be damaged too! Check it out.
Do a search about the engine mounts on this or the Diesel forum.
This will allow you to diagnose yourself if they have to be replaced or not.

Danny, its a Nov. 1987 model.

yes you're right - the previous owner blew the high pressure power steering line which leaked all down the underside of the car and was not rectified. i bought the thing and now have to replace the trasnmission mount, diff. mounts, and the p/steering line. all the rubbers have died.

so there are four mounting rubbers on the diff? these are the 'rear subframe mounts' - yes? i thought there was only two?

any idea as to part no's?

what is the best way to get part no's generally?

thanks for your help.
