I hope to perform an engine and gearbox transplant on my W124 300D over the next couple of weeks. I have access to a 2 or 4 post ramp. Is it posible to remove/replace the engine and box in one lump. Any pitfalls,and what would i be better off replacing whilst the engine and gearbox are out...

Hi, I am trying to workout what autobox I have. I have a 96 c180 with 4 speed auto, I belive it is a 722.421 and my autodata book says dextron 2. sure there was a web site where I can use my vin number to check if any one can point me in the right direction!

Hi all, I have recently purchased another TE, this time a 1991 300 24v. Yesterday when suck in heavy traffic on the m11 :mad: I went to pull out and head up to the next junction when I didnt have any power to speak of! Eventually the car got rolling and it started to pull but initially...

Just bought first merc,89 190e 2.0 auto126,000miles.appears mint with piles of main dealer history. curious as autobox gives a harsh kick when taking up in D or R, smooth changes throughout the range when on the move otherwise.not sure how to check fluid? Central locking only works off...

Can anyone describe how to remove the autobox E/S switch from my 200E (as under), as I suspect it is faulty? I had a quick look when replacing the bulb in the selector panel recently but it wasn't too obvious to me. It is fitted alongside lower left of the gearchage gate. Be much appreciated...

I see there's a post on Honest John's site about a guy with a V reg (2000?) Accord that suffered auto-box failure at 50K miles. Apparently Honda replaced the box FOC without even having to be asked by the customer, saying that the box shouldn't have failed after only 50K. Wonder what MB's...

Help!!! have given up with Sterling in worcester trying to buy the autobox fluid to serivce my box, I get the impression that they wont tell me as they are not sure.. Can any one tell me what autobox I have and what the correct fluid is. I have a 1997 C180 Classic Auto , it's a 4...

Hello all, I took my 1997 C180 in for a gearbox diagnostic and got chatting with the mechanic. He said that the early 722.6 box is a regular re-build job for him but that there is no telling when it will fail. He had one in there (E class) that had 300k on the original box but had seen one...

sprinter 312 autobox 96 got a problem with reverse on my auto box! it wants to go but just rocks slightly with no movement when accelerating. HELP

The 5 speed auto gearbox on 1991 24v will only drive in first gear and speedo has stopped working.I am being advised to change the box and have looked at recons etc. 4 speed autos seem far more available than the 5 speed. Will this fit? if from a 300TE 12v. Any help or advice would be great. Steve

I've been looking at upgrading my 1991 300TD for a W124 multi-valve E300 diesel estate for some time now, but the price differential has put me off so far. Looked at one today that was a bit more reasonable. The thing is, this is the second one I've test driven and both started from rest in...

my auto gear box is noisy and judders under load, it has a oil leak and i top up the oil level every 500m. i have been quoted 10hrs labour just to replace box and a small fortune for the box. any ideas.

Does anyone with an E300td estate know at what rpm the gears shift at full throttle & full throttle using kickdown? I assume that a diesel is similar to a petrol under these conditions & would change up at higher rpms using kickdown. Mine changes @ 4500 under both conditions. I've...

Just bought dipstick, sorry measuring stick, for the autobox on my '98 E300TD. I assume, as it's a hell of a long stick!, you just bung it down the tube until it bottoms, take it out & check the level just as you would normally. Am I right? Thanks Col

Hi all, First post so go easy, it's a 1986 190D the gears all behave until the box changes into 4th gear at which point it jumps out :confused: , will changing the oil/filter cure this or is a gearbox strip on the cards. Does anybody know what the likely cost of the repair to...
