Good suggestion, Bruno. I guess I'd hate to have to buy the fluid twice if the trans is really busted. So will standard Dexron II/III work?
Thanks for the foot pound conversion - that's a handy link!
As for the ring gaskets for the drain plugs - I didn't think my car had a drain plug in the trans? Can you elaborate? For refresher, this is a 1991 300E with the M103 engine. I thought all I needed was a pan gasket and filter???
