[diesel_mercedes] Re: Where to place floor jack when removing B2 piston in W124

 


Thanks Brian but undoing the 4 bolts on the transmission bar does not allow my transmission to drop down far enough to access the b2 piston cover.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Re: New starter 82 240D

 

Beware cheap starters, I put in 2 American rebuilt Bosh units before biting the bullet and paying for a Bosh factory rebuilt unit

Re: [diesel_mercedes] No 3-4 shift

 

B2 is when you have no 1,or 2nd.You have to roll car then it going.There is one more Item a K spring,but I don't know for what gear.Hopefully your problem is minor.Check switch under gas pedal,in case its stuck by unplugging it.That would hold you down in gear.

Hi All,

I have an '85 300SD with no 3-4 (high gear) shift. Is that a/the B-2
problem or something else. The other functions are okay and it does not
even try the 3-4 upshift. No flare, nothing. Any ideas?

It's a CA emissions equipped car if that makes any difference.

Thanks,

Mark in Texas
