w114 tranny starting to slip

[busfarmer]

Hello All
well here goes
I had a 1971 250 coupe that I could not sell
so I put the motor and tranny in my
1929 ford model A roadster(rat rod)
now the tranny is starting to slip
between gears. What can I do????
is there any super trick or special additive I can use???
I open to anything.
the motor runs great with new webers.
lots of power just need the tranny to work
car still runs and drives.

I will post some photos as soon as I get home
please help.

Thanks
DEAN

slipping in all gears usually means its toast. -CTH

Wild looking car.. i like the hand grenade stick shift.. can we see a wide view of the car?

[busfarmer]

well over 150 views not one thing about the tranny
what a waste of time
I don't know **** about mercedes and I figured out
what the problem was with NO help from this list

Blown out seal on the valve body

fixed and on the road

Sorry we disappointed, your car sure didn't. It was the talk of the veteran's list for a few days.

Transmissions are the single most complicated part of a car. There could be dozens of things wrong with them. They are not well suited to arm chair mechanics.

Also, a leaky valve body can cause a gazillion symptoms. Just about the entire table of options is "rebuild unit" or "fix valve body", with both being possible choices.

I for one am glad that your Ford is back on the road. Do please visit again with your next problem, presuming there is one. These things aren't indescructable.
