Re: [diesel_mercedes] What is the function of the Control Pressure Rod?

 

Thank you Mark.  He only wants to fire her up for now.  It'll be *loud* without the exhaust hooked up!

I wouldn't let the control rod keep you from firing up the engine.  The control rod controls when the car shifts (in conjunction with the vacuum modulator).  You can even drive it without the control rod, but not too much.  The transmission will shift too early, and there may be some slipping at heavier throttle pressure.  But, puttering around with a light throttle for short distances won't hurt anything.  Over time, though, the transmission will wear out prematurely.
