brake vacuum booster config
for the last month or so i noticed my transmission has been shifting really rough. i thought i had already checked all the vacuum connections but last weekend i found one of the hoses that was supposed to be on the vacuum brake booster line dangling with the plastic "port" broken off inside the rubber connector. anyway, i played with the thing forever until i figured out the brake booster line is a one piece unit and you just unscrew both ends to remove it. EASY!
it was also an easy re-installation once i got the new part from fastlane yesterday. i vaguely remembered how the hoses were supposed to reconnect. i started her back up and went on a little drive. the transmission is back to shifting smooth as silk. i was happy until i went to remove the key and the engine would not shut off. i know from previous experience this has to do with a vacuum hose. i need to make sure i put the vacuum brake booster line back the way it is supposed to go. i cannot find any diagrams for my '84 300D turbo that explain this. can someone with the same car check theirs out and tell me which port the vacuum hoses connect? i currently have the hose installed with the arrow on the center valve pointing away from the brake booster (toward the front of the car). is this right?
thanks
