Hi Rob ;
I'm spending to - day with my sweetie
.My '82 240D's tranny used to flare like mad , one day it decided no more 4th gear so I had to drive it quite some distance in third gear (40 MPH) to Victor whom I told to go ahead and rebuild it completely because it flared and leaked too , instead he adjusted something and it's been fine ever since .
YEARS ~ earlier this year I added some " Trans-X " snake oil on the advice of a DieselHead I more or less trust , it not only stopped the leaking but firmed up the shifts too .
Not long ago there was a cherry '85 300D in a Long Beach LKQ yard , the ATF smelled fresh , the whole car was stripped clean in a few days , I don't remember if they knew to take the tranny , as you said it's a one year only deal , a very good setup indeed .
Is it the same as the SD in '85 ? . I see those occasionally .

I thought I might run into Nate last Saturday, as I drove through Malibu, and up in the hills. On the hills, my tranny didn't seem too happy, so I might check on a rebuild, from my guy in Orange, CA. This used tranny I put in 60k ago, has been adjusted and has new shift kit, which gave me a few more years/ 30k miles. The old tranny, which is still in the garage, lost 3rd and 4th; hopefully it's repairable, so I don't lose this daily driver with AC, or I'll wait until it cools off. Mostly, seems fine on the flat, so fine to drive locally. My '85 CA has a different Tranny than the rest.
I did see a couple gold 300ds, yet no Nate.
