When I was younger I use to think I could save them all! But now as I get older I am getting much more selective and find myself coming home "empty handed" more often than not. That happened to Kaia and I recently as we got up early and headed out on a 3-hour drive to purchase a 1978 450SL.
I must admit I have a soft spot for the old M116 and M117 Mercedes V8 engines. From a 3.5 liter when it was first introduced in Europe in the late 1960's, to a 5.6 liter at the end of production in 1991, the basic engine did not change all that much. I liken it to the German version of the Chevy 350 engine.
Since transmission issues are becomming an increasing challenge for the owner of these older models, Kent went to work to put together this new DIY kit. This is the most complete kit available on the market to help you repair the common problem with the 722.6 transmission locking up in limp-home-mode (won't shift out of second gear).
Almost everyday now we get requests for help trying to find a specific video. As of March 2017 Kent has produced almost 1300 videos and on average 3 to 4 new videos are being posted every week. It is hard for even us to keep track of them all and we can not answer questions unless YOU TELL US the specific video you are asking about.
From my own experience and from hearing from lots of other's experiences I can not stress enough - DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR IGNITION TUMBLER AND STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY! If your key is starting to "stick" or "catch" in the tumbler then you shoud replace it before it will not turn and leave you stranded!
Our primary focus is providing solutions to the most common technical problems that owners face on the early 1960's up through the early 2000's. These include the W110 W111 W113 W108 W109 W114 W115 R107 W116 W123 W126 W201 W124 R129 W140 W210 W211 and W220 chassis. As time goes on we may be adding some of the other models as well. If you love those Mercedes gas and diesel models and are a do-it-yourself ( D.I.Y. ) mechanic you have come to the right place. Even if you have never worked on a car before we can help teach you how to fix those little annoying problems, improve mileage and performance and save hundreds of dollars in the process.

I am a Mercedes Benz Club of America -Seattle Section member, and a HUGE fan of your videos and products. I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU!
I send you a pic from me with my W126 300SDL Turbo, if you want, you can add it in your page, in your mercedes friends gallery. As soon as I take some with my W123 I´ll send them to you too!
Hi Kaia, Thanks for the Ponton Sedan 219 220S Factory Book Set. I have got two Pontons, a 1959 219 and a 1959 220s. I intend to restore the 220s to show condition.
