JUST ARRIVED! German-made diesel fuel injector nozzles are back! CLICK HERE to order.
PLEASE NOTE: This should be used in conjunction with our modulator pressure test kit (see below). It can be unhealthy for your transmission to just "guess by feel" where the T-pin should be turned.
Out of years of frustration trying to adjust the modulator during a test drive, Kent came up with a better and faster way to make adjustments by just "reaching" under the car. This little device replaces the plastic cap during testing and adjustment.
Kent will show you the procedure (along with troubleshooting and testing tips) with a 722.3 Transmission on the bench.
In this 13-minute session, Kent will open up the planetary gear assembly with the one-way clutch and show you how to put in the new seals. This one is a little bit tricky. You have to be careful not to knock the clutch assembly apart. It also takes some effort to get it all back together.
Kent will walk you through the steps to remove the drive shaft SAVELY. Replace the center bearing and carrier on the bench / vise. And finally, replacing the drive shaft correctly back into the car. This applies to the R107, W116, W126 and W124 chassis. The example here if from a W124 300E
In this detailed step-by-step 20-minute video instruction, Kent will take this unit apart on the bench and demonstrate how to install all new O-rings and seals. 72234CLASS
In this xx-minute video, Kent will explain how to set up and use the different components in his kit (see below) to test modulation pressure in a 1981 to 1995 automatic transmission. This should be done when replacing the modulator or after rebuilding a transmission.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING!
PLEASE ORDER THE UPGRADED KIT BELOW for your 1981 to 1985 turbo diesel Mercedes.
Only three sets are available. This is one of the better aftermarket wire sets we have seen. Some of the wire lengths may be slightly different from Mercedes' original, but they install just fine with no excessive looping.
This is an improved factory upgrade for the older 722.3 transmission valve body up through 1990. Later models were revised and this upgrade is not required. The accumulator parts you will install are Genuine Mercedes.
In Part 7 of this transmission rebuild training class, Kent will prep the drums for reassembly with the new seals. Installation of the piston in the K1 drum can be particularly challenging.
These are probably the most important internal seals that you need to replace. Pressure loss in the K1 and K2 is probably the primary reason for delayed shifts and flares between shifts. This is the first part in resealing these important brake drums.
In Part 2 of this training series, Kent will show you what you will want to inspect before you begin ordering parts for a transmission overhaul. In most cases, you will only need gaskets, seals, and clutches, but you want to make sure. 72234CLASS
In this first class lesson, Kent will take apart a non-shifting transmission that he removed from a 1987 300E. The video is 23 minutes long, and you will get to see how everything comes off and out of the transmission case to leave you in awe of what lies inside.
You may already know how easy it is to "round out" the hex heads of the original soft door striker bolts. There are two on each door. When you replace them with our strong stainless steel torx head screws, you will never have to hassle with them again.
Green top modulators are no longer available NLA. It is difficult even to find good used ones. Hard to believe we still have one. Kent found it hidden away in the shop the other day and fully tested it. The long pin is included and it has a good solft black rubber cap.
Three seals in each drum need to be replaced. Only the bottom "hidden" drum seals in Viton are included.
Most of the R107s you see running around have the black blade holders on the silver arms. The reason is that owners can not find original rubber blade inserts. So, the silver blade holders get lost!. You want yours to look original. Well, here it is.
Please note: These are not "complete instructions. Why are there no complete? Kent decided not to show all the details of removing and reinstalling the manifold, as there are at least half a dozen good videos on YouTube showing the entire process in detail.
This will work for almost all 4-speed automatics from 1981 to 1995. This transmission overhaul tool set is custom-modified here in our shop at MercedesSource. We make it to order, and it may take a few days to ship. It contains five tools.
This is the earlier style with the full colored plastic levers and the small black removable control knobs. No breaks in the plastic and smooth operation. Note knobs are installed and included. Only one unit available. Very Rare. This is the actual unit you will receive.
Study the picture carefully. This is exactly what you will receive. Only one. No left side available.
I will share with you some pictures so you can see how it performs. It works especially well to crimp the small red insulated connectors onto thin wire without the wire coming out. The cutter is sharp and cuts the wire cleanly.
These video instructions are specific to our Universal Diesel Fuel Boost pump kit. In this 24-minute video, Kent will show you how to assemble and wire the kit on the bench before installing it in your diesel.
Wire strippers and crimpers have come a long way in 20 years. There are a number of good options available, but this is the pair Kent recommends when working with shrink-style wiring connectors.
In this 4-minute video, Kent will explain the theory of a power relay and how to wire it properly through a switch from a keyed power source in order to power an aftermarket component you are adding to your car.
The new switch fits perfectly into the hole already drilled and all you need to do is tighten it down. The relay slides onto the side of the other relay and locks in place. It is not necessary to attach it with another screw.
VERY limited stock. These are the exact fuses you will receive.
This can be installed in your W116 W126 W201 W124 diesel in 60 to 90 minutes. You will use the video instructions for installing it in a W123 (included), then you will make location modifications to fit your specific chassis.
In this detailed 30-minute instructional video, Kent will walk you through the process step-by-step of how to install the circuit boss and associated wiring to be able to power your auxiliary boost fuel pump and your fuel boost heater when completing your STC 100 conversion.
Kent calls this his "flowglow" because it is a straight flow-through fuel heater that uses a glow plug to produce the heat. Since the glow plug is submerged in vegetable oil fuel, it is very efficient and will last a long time.
In this xx-minute instructional video, Kent will show you how to install his pre-fabricated, ready-to-install fuel boost pump kit for the W123 diesel Mercedes.
STC100 SVO conversion.
NOTE: This is custom-built in our shop after an order is placed. PLEASE ALLOW 5 to 7 working days before it can be shipped. Alternatively, you can order the "UNIVERSAL KIT" which is in stock for immediate shipment. You can assemble this yourself as it yields the same results and save $$$.
The B1 piston assembly is not easy to remove and then reinstall. Because of the length of the two big springs behind the cover, it takes a tool that has a lengthy throw.
We modified this slide hammer puller set in our shop so it will work in removing two key components in the 722.3 and 722.4 automatic transmissions. Getting the B2 piston and sleeve out of the case can be a real bear without this tool. With it, it comes out quickly and easily.
You will need a 12-point DEEP socket. That is the only thing that will work. Most impact sockets are six-sided. The best way to remove this nut is with a big impact wrench with the transmission locked in park. So you will need a quality heavy-duty socket. This one is made in the U.S.A.
Take a very close look at the picture. These are all the gaskets and seals you will need to replace if you open up your 722.3 transmission that was produced from 1981 to 1990 for all 6 and 8-cylinder passenger cars that had a displacement of 3.0 liters or more.
These are the additional components required to run your old Mercedes diesel on dual tanks (DTC) when using Kent's conversion kits or methods.
Fits 300D, 300TD, 300CD and 300SD from 1981 to 1985. Hard now to find good ones. This is the only one we have. This is the actual part you will receive.
HUse this wiring adapter Kent designed to connect to one of the fuse posts in your fuse box to give you a "keyed" on-and-off power source for an electrical component you wish to install. The video below will give you more details.
FITS 1981 to 1985 5-cylinder W123 engines ONLY. Not "perfect" but above average used condition.
PLEASE NOTE: This can also work on the 1990 to 1995 gas engine W124 and W201 (the vacuum switch can just be plugged off) Last one we have. This unit is NLA and now very hard to find because it is specific to the late W124 and W201 diesel sedans.
Lots of good and hard-to-find nuts, bolts, and screws for working on your doors inside. Study closely. This is exactly what you will receive.
Excellent used clean switch as shown for late 300TD. This is the actual one you will receive. New bulb installed. BUSTER
GOOD working part as shown. Holds a strong vacuum. You will need to use your rod and cover lock to make this work.
PLEASE do not try to check out online. If you are interested in coming to pick these up email us sales@mercedessource.com. Watch the video below for a full description. BUSTER
