sunken bosses? What are they? all I see are flush and proud bolt sleeves.

The offset type disc is to cushion the "downshift" as you slow down with the old fully hydraulic automatics - the later electronic ones use the same solid disc front and back as the transmission itself is very well behaved and the "receiving generation" of these cars dont complain much on the downshift nudges.

From my research no "offset type disc" was ever spec'd for this model. Can you elaborate on what you consider that to be? Can you put a year on that trans idea? I assume you mean electronic control or not. We are in the Gen I W126 range here. So they are as you term 'old' ? This model in fact had differing discs early on then same discs after a certain serial number. ( in the same year) trans didn't change. Nothing else relevant changed. In fact I'm not aware I ever noticed a slowing down - down shift. I'll have to think about that while driving. It seems to not down shift until you request acceleration, so not a slow down type downshift as you mention.

MB went a step ahead to even remove those nudges with those offset type discs.

What is a nudge? and again, what do you consider to be offset type and what applications were they spec'd for?
