Need K1 Spring Kit

Because I live in Canada, I can't order from Phil.
Does anyone know a reliable source for these spring kits? Dealership?
Diesel Giant? or are they generally available at major parts stores such as NAPA?

I finally got me a green dashpot and it's made some difference, but more is needed...any hints or tips, along with How-to's would be appreciated

Bought mine at the dealer, for my 1980 300D.

and then.... Checked the little valve (3 port plastic thing) on my valve cover.
It leaked, and I replaced it (about $40 from the dealer),
and my trans shifts better than ever.
Although I will still put in the K1 kit, I no longer have 2 - 3 flare.

Just my experience, your resutls may vary.

i have an 82 SD. I used to have them. i took them off as they only contoled the EGR valve. their leaking also caused a loss of vacuum to my tranny.

K1 spring replacement on "4-bolt"

I'm guessing you guys with the '80 cars have transmissions w/four bolts holding the pan on the tranny, correct? Would one use the same K1 spring setup on the six-bolt trannies??

To clarify, are the part numbers the same for the K1 "kit" for both four- and six-bolt gearboxes?

Thanks,
Jay.

The K1 kit (P/N: 126 270 44 77) is specifically for the 722.3,722.4 and 722.5 automatic transmission
