Just bought an 82 300SD, and I've been reading a LOT. I think lubing my linkage is tomorrows to-do item. My cruise is really jumpy, and the pedal feels stiff. I had assumed it was the cruise amp as well, and that the pedal just feels that way. The car has been sitting for about a year, and if a little lube fixes it, I'll be really happy. Plus, its better than having the pedal stick and plunging over a cliff Wile E Coyote style...

Thanks for the heads up!
