Is there anything you'd like to share with me regarding this rebuild? Any parts I should buy? I already bought a transmission filter and gasket and some synthetic ATF. Someone had mentioned crankshaft seal?? |
Other seals to replace are those on the side of the transmission for the linkage and electrical wire connections. I replaced my 1992 300SE valve body, fifth gear solenoid and the internal wire harness. It was unbelievably brittle from age, ATF and heat. The pan gasket is a no-brainer as well. The thing that prevents me from doing more is my inability (from lack of experience) to recognize worn parts. the operating tolerances have to be close and someone that does rebuilds for a living could diagnose wear quickly and correctly. It is no fun to do the work and then have to redo because a worn pump or clutch or bearing was not caught the first time. Just my 2-cents.
