The kickdown cable on my 88 300SE where it attaches to the transmission is leaking transmission fluid it has been for quite a while since I have bought it. The previous owner actually covered the entire base of the unit with seamsealer which he must have believed would stop the leak. I also believe that may be effecting the car by causing slower acceleration and shifting which it has been experiencing. I was just wondering if anyone has replaced this part, is there anything else that I should replace asides from the actual kickdown cable mechanism and if it can be replaced externally or does the transmission pan have to be dropped? I would have taken a closer look but I just had surgery and really can't get under the car at this time. Take Care.
