Remove the park system








There are shims under this part that you ideally need to keep





It looks like this transmission has been removed and stored vertically with the tail end pointing up in the rain! As you can see in the pictures above this part of the transmission is pretty rusty - even the shims under this splined part to which the park pawl engages are rusted. There's rust on the governor as well...


...I have no knowledge of the history of this transmission. It was at least sold to me honestly as spares – I did get the impression from the (private) seller, however, they had had a rough time with it. There was no longer a Mercedes to be seen at their house...
