I sucessfully busted the little electrical thingy on the right rear of the trans on my 85 300sd.

can't figure out what it is. it's held in place with a bolt, and has a single wire with a rubber boot. wire goes under rear of trans to the drivers side and forward.

I'll try epoxying it, and see how it works,


thanks

speedometer drive cable? see if your speedo still reads correctly.

the transmission is currently out of the car, so that's not an option.

I'll just put things back together and see what doesn't work.

Could the the Plug for the kickdown switch.

looks like a hall effect sensor or something. no actual interaction witht the guts

It's the kickdown solenoid. The speedo pickup is up higher on the driver's side.
