Thanks, Rob. It's on my agenda to do that this afternoon, weather permitting.
It only lost high gear so I hope it a simple fix. I'll keep you posted.

Did the 3rd & 4th just go out while driving? Have you checked your fluid
level? I have a '85 300D CA, which lost its 3rd & 4th, and it ended up
being the planetary gear inside which came loose and spun; this is an
issue with this tranny (722.416). Only the '85 CA models use this
tranny, at least for the 300D, and I think the same for the SD. Before
you freak out, drain some fluid, if it's full of metal bits, it's toast.
Hopefully it's something else. I found a used tranny and swapped it in.
The 300D and 300SD use the same tranny, though the tail piece is
different, mechanical vs electric speedo. The tail piece is swapable.
That's what I had to do.
