Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: automatic transmission questions
Max,
Many cars have a magnet in the transmission pan (on Automatics). Clean it, too - it is harder to do than it sounds - stick to it and you;ll get there.

So when you drop the pan to change the filter, you are cleaning out the inside of the pan, changing the filter, right? That's all you can clean, right? Max

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Slushbox Service Question
I've heard this too , but I always change the fluid & filter and if it fails , it was going to strand you anyways .
There's a back flush machine (I *think* it's called a ' BG ') that's supposedly very good , I'd just as soon drop the pan and make 1000 % sure there's no silt in it or band debris , the filter is new and so on .
Most Slush Boxes use only an intake screen , Mercedes has a real filter so when it's dirty , you're beating the crap out of your tranny .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] automatic transmission questions
Backflush clears filter out,but is best to drain,clean pan,magnet,an change filter.On some older automatics they cliamed it would destroy transmissons.But trans was already wore out when they changed fluids.I change every 75k miles,because I use sync ATFs.Sometimes when I can find it trickshift.

The lower parts of the doors may be the same, but the fixed glass in the station wagon door is trapezoidal compared to triangular in the sedan. The trailing edge of the window frame is squared in the wagon and curved in the sedan. You might be able to fit a sedan door in a wagon, but you would have a gap.
