Vacuum system Tranny problems...ripping hair out
I have an '81 300D with over 200K on it. A while back I noticed the transmission started shifting "harder" especially between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4. It got worse until finally, nothing. I rolled off to the side of the road with the engine going strong but absolutely nothing in any gear.
I replaced the Power Brake booster vacuum line because it looked to have been repaired with electrical tape at one point. Still no go. I do notice that there is a hissing sound like air is escaping for about a minute after I turn the engine off. So, any suggestions for my next step? Thanks.

Considering ( no offense ) you knew you had a transmission problemand still kept driving, if it was me I would have it towed to a reliable MB indy mechanic and have him tell me what was wrong.

Gisele,
At this point you may have damaged your tranny. It may be more than your vacuum system... I would have a indy shop take a lot at it. bsdguy
