Never,  EVER apologize for being any sort of Geek, TechHead etc. ! .

I tend to work my vehicles pretty hard any time I'm driving so the .303 tranny sounded like a good idea to me .

I prolly should have bought one to have overhauled and installed in my '82 240D as then it's prolly lever wear out again , like using Taxi suspension parts on your old Classic Chevy .

HAPPY FRIDAY ! .

Nate: You make a good point. I was restricting my discussion to the w123 chassis models. But you are correct in that later (heavy) models used this beefy tranny. The 722.303 has the highest torque rating of the Benz line of trannys for it's time. As an engineer I am beyond impressed that this transmission is still the spine of the Benz automobiles. Of course they improve details as they go. But the core of this transmission is so robust and so well conceived that they have not needed to design a new one in all these years. And as an electrical engineer, the transition into electrically controlled solenoids for fluid path control inside the box is beautiful. Mostly because the wires that control the solenoids don't have to be driven by a computer, but can be energized by manual switches to make this a manually controlled slushbox. I like that idea. To me it is the best of both worlds - fluid coupling and absolute driver control. Forgive me, but I think I am having a geekgasm.

Well, I think I would feel different, at least for a while. But of course I keep a couple of spares laying around so I would forget about it in short time. Plenty of other things to do, like flying with your boy. Max
