I'm attempting to do this job on my '82 300D, on which I believe the process should be the same as the aforereferenced SD. I've got the valve body off and the cable housing freed from the transmission, and everything is going well enough, except for the part about pressing on the locking tab. Is it the thing that surrounds the rod way up in the plastic cable housing? (Looks like two semicircles?) If so, how do I press it? Jamming a small screwdriver up there and rotating the cable housing isn't doing the trick. So close and yet so far; it is getting pretty frustrating.
Thanks for any help,
Tom
