Here is what happens when you leave your Mercedes parked in deep snow country. This car was totally buried, just a bump in the snow, big snow plow ran into it, made a mess. This is Soda Springs, California. A lot of snow has melted, still pretty deep. Max

It is an 81 300TD (automatic). I am about to go look at it. I haven't noticed any parts or fluids although it was "a quart" low. What trips me up is the suddenness of it all. No warnings of any kind. I will let you all know what I find. Wiish me luck.

Not familiar with the auto trans in most of these. If a vac modulator, couldbe a rubber line came off. (had that happen to me and had the same problems as you describe)Check linkage as Bill mentions. Try the simple first. Did you try shifting manually?From: diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com ]

Subject: RE: [diesel_mercedes] sudden tranny failureI will Guess it is something in the shifting linkage; that covers a lot of area. Start underneath at the transmission and follow the linkages back to the firewall.Also look in your driveway for washers or a piece of cotter pin (small though).What year and model? Try an internet search using google.comBill in Oregon================================================= From: diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com ]

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] sudden tranny failureGuys:I pulled into my driveway at about 5:00/pm today and all was well. Car worked as usual all day. At 9:00\pm I got in to go to the store and it simply would not shift into second. It would shift out of first - but not into Second. or any other gear. Thinking back, I may have heard a snap or pop as I pulled into the driveway, but I am not sure. I know this is not a lot of info. But any observations are appreciated. I will check vacuum and shift cables tomorrow in the daylight. I will probably pull the pan and replace the filter screen as well. Could it be a piston? I hate to lose this wonderful old beast after so many years of such reliable service. Of course I can probably find another tranny. And I will if I have to. I love this old lady. But any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.Thanks in advance.Bogy.
