Fits chassis 110, 111, 112, 108 and 109. This is the ball socket bushing used on the linkage for column shift automatic transmissions from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. It snaps on the end of the shifting arm coming up of the bottom of the steering column.
Fits chassis ALL PONTONS, 110, 111, and 108 with column shift manual transmission. This set of three ball socket bushings are used on the end of the linkage for column shift manual transmissions from the mid 1950s to the late 1960s.
Keeping your throttle linkage ball sockets and pivot points lubricated extends the life of the parts and maintains top performance for the engine as well as some of the later transmissions.
In this 17 minute instructional video Kent will walk you through removing and installation a VCV valve off the back of the injection pump and the proper way to adjust the linkage travel for best performance. A number of tips will be shared to reduce frustration and prevent problems.
Fits all W123 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 280E 280CE 1977 to 1985 Used Above average condition. good shafts and good joints for smooth movement of your windshield wiper arms - NO plastic wiper boots included and no mounting hardware ( use from your existing W123).
The VCV valve controls the critical shifting patterns of most diesel automatic transmissions from 1978 to 1985. This includes the 1978 to 1985 300SD, the 1980 to 1985 W123 300D, 300CD and 300TD and the 1980 to 1983 240D.
In this 13-minute instructional video, Kent will walk you through the steps of inspecting and replacing the round throttle shaft bushing in your W123 turbo 300D, 300CD, or 300TD. Watch the YouTube video below for an introduction.
CONFIRMATION ALSO FITS ON W123 GASOLINE 230CE FIREWALL MOUNT!
Fits 123, 126 and 116 chassis 5 cylinder diesel engines from 1977 to 1985. This valve cover is in good condition with no cracks or heavy corrosion.
If your transmission is shifting too soon it can really rob your car of power and acceleration. If it is shifting too late it can be very loud and annoying and even affect fuel economy.
Also works on 380SL and 560SL transmissions. Before you think you can easily remove the Bowden cable from the transmission, watch the video below.
The bowden cable runs from the transmission to the throttle linkage on many Mercedes from the early 1980's up through the early mid 1990's. When this cable fails or is out of adjustment the transmission will either shift too early or too late.
Inspect for adjustment and tension. If you disconnect the cable from the throttle linkage and there is no spring back pressure then the cable is broken.
New o-ring seal installed.
This is one set that will pretty much do it all: door panels, radio, windows, interior trim, exterior trim, engine, fastener plugs, seals, etc. Strong enough to even change a bicycle tire...
New metal end piece with set screw that connects to the linkage on valve cover on 1977 to 1979 300D CD and 240D. Check your cable for an exact match before ordering. This piece always seems to get lost and can be hard to find.
Fits the following, 201, 124, and 126 chassis with 6 cylinder single cam gas engine. In my opinion, the 103 6 cylinder gas engine (built from 1986 to 1993) is one of the best engines Mercedes has ever built.
If you own and maintain an older car (especially 15 years and older) you must be willing to take care of its lubrication needs or you may spend big money later in repairs.
