Hello all,


Yeah I am the guy who bought a car with a transmission leak. It is an 1987 300d and other than this she seems pretty good. only 103000 miles and the interior is very good.

Has any one tried doing this themselves. It doesnt seem impossible to do on jack stands. Remove the drive shaft and remove the transmission accessories and remove the bolt and slide it back and down on a transmission jack and change that 5 dollar part and save alot of money and worry that someone will sell me the whole turkey when all I needed was a sandwich.

WHat do you folks think,

Is it too much to do or not.

I imagine a shop will charge 600 bucks or up to do it.



thanks again

PS is does have the trap oxidator on it still. Hopefully I can get a new turbo out of it.
