Not to change the subject but while we're having trans talk, What about this thought...
I wouldn't change one thing on the engine of my 300d. However the car was designed to travel at 55mph not today's highway speeds of 80 in some states. The MPG would be better and get the RPMs down if it had a modern transmission. Anyone put an Overdrive Tranny in a w123? Mines great! Just doesn't shift into 5th gear like I wish it could.
While you're changing the trans maybe the thought of updating? I don't know but I do know if mine went I'd really be doing a search on it.
