Re: [diesel_mercedes] 722. Tranny Swap

 

Yes, mine's a w123, though the only difference between the '85 300D & SD trannys is the tail, because of the speedo.

? isn't your W123 an '85 ? .

Is all it takes to use an S Klasse tranny in a W123 is swapping the tail shaft ? .

I have been told that SD slush boxes have heavier bands or something, making them ideal " heavy duty " (or Taxi) trannies.....

[diesel_mercedes] U-Pay & Pull $CORE !

 

 .


Well ;

My Brother showed up last night and took me to dinner, he carries comprehensive tools so I asked him if he wanted to go and I could maybe get some unbroken rear seat belts (ding-dang Fister kids keep slamming the rear doors on the buckles as  I'm hollering " MIND THE SEAT BELTS PLEASE ! " so both rear buckles now have broken plastic...

Anyways , the '85 W123 had broekn buckles and the '81 240D's were different , I decided to look closer at this fairly clean old car and discovered it had a freshly rebuilt starter motor and brandy new glow plugs plus the fuel looked clean and the  injectors had been rebuilt not long ago so I grabbed the headliner out of a Toyota and the trunk mat from a Mitsubishi and crawled under neath this old thing , got to work .

It also had a full length oil cooler , something I've been pondering adding to our car , grabbed that too and in the end they charged me $101.93 for everything , no warantee , no cores etc. .

I was able to find some plastic bags to wrap things up in, the starter weighs a ton and Tom cut a deployed air bag off a steering wheel so I could carry it easier .

As usual, I'm quite pleased and picked up some good German hardware that was just scattered all over the ground .

Me, I think this car looked good enough to have been saved and put back on the road but what do I know, right ? .

Besides a 240D is kinda pokey and slow .

This '81 non California model had NO  E.G.R. valve ! wow .

I considered taking the entire manifolds and updating out '82 but passed .

Coming back I spotted a local hand car wash to raise $ for some College kids who's off the L.A. for a kick fighting tourney, $5 well spent but it began pouring rain as they were trying to dry it off ~ they got super apologetic , I'm happy as no more road dust / grime / Diesel smoot / dead bugs on it ! .      

I hope everyone has a nice , quiet and SAFE Labor Day weekend ! .

-Nate
