Thumbs up
SOME '85 cars (such as my 300SD) still have an '84 style trans WITH the '85 emission stuff added. The '85 only have a different pan with gasket too. I basically have a CA emission car from '84 and older.

'85s also sound diff at idle and seem to have a leaner calibrated IP.



Stick with something you know will fit properly.
