1980 300SD tranny in a 84 300TD wagon?
Is it possible for an 84 300TD wagon to run on the transmission from a 1980 300SD? If only some of the parts (within the tranny) are interchangeable, which ones?

HELP NEEDED WITH CLUTCH PROBLEM!!
Hi there. I have a 300DT Euro with a 4 speed manual. I bought all the clutch related parts to do the job and then decided to have my mechanic do the job.
So we after the installation, all was fine for about 1 week, then the shifting became hard. I took it back and he figured their was some air in the lines still. So he bled the system again, getting a little bit of air out. Then another 2 weeks later, the same thing happened and i took it back again. And now the same thing is happening again.
I don't want to take it back to him again. I trust him and his work, but i would feel wrong in asking him to 'fix it again'. Also, Mercedes are not his specialty, so i am asking for advice from Kent or anyone who has any help to offer.

Black Stuff Blocking Fuel Filters!! 1985 300TD
I have a 1985 300TD converted to run on WVO. It ran great for about a year and then I have been plagued with problems (plugging filters). My oil is liquid gold. I suspected some of the neoprene fuel hose I used was going bad. I drained both tanks ( I have a small diesel tank for starting/purging) and replaced every fuel line and filter. I have been testing the system using diesel only to make sure it all works. I have Kent's little clear filter at the exit of the main (original) tank. It plugs up with what looks like black sand.

1976 300D Wont change from A/C to heater
I am about to fix a 1976 300D that does not change over to heat when you turn the A/C off. We bought it from a dealer and know very little of the car's maintenance/repair history. I can tell that the car was well maintained and runs/drives great. The heater slide controls are working, but whatever is supposed to happen when you turn the A/C knob fully counter clockwise is not functioning. I was wondering if anybody knew of a common problem that I should look for when I repairing this.

Sporadic smoking,electrical additions & injector leaking
Hi,
I have a '76 240D with an Elsbett conversion kit. Installed right before mercedessource came out with their own kit. Installed the auxillary fuel pump & works great. Also installed an injector line heater wrap. I wish I had gone with the heater Ken offers, didn't know he had it. Another regret, I had someone else install the Auxillary pump and injector wraps and although they work fine, they didn't do as good as a job as I would have, if I had the time to do the work myself. Now I have an Elsbett heat wrap around the the filter, injector line heat wrap and the auxillary pump all pulling juice, works fine but the wiring is getting messy. So three things I'd like to change/correct:

Ideal motor for WVO
I have a line on a 1987 300SDL with about 200,000 on it. Curious what the group's take is on this motor being a good citizen when it comes to accepting WVO as a primary fuel (for a dual tank set-up)
Thanks!

1981 300 TD Wagon Transmission doesn't shift
While driving, the trany shifted to nuetral by itself. No position on the gear shift changes the condition. However, when I shift to park I do get a grinding noise before the gears mesh. Every other position is quiet. I was told that I may have to replace the transmission and I am willing to do so as long as a second opinion agrees with the first.
If I do need to replace the transmission, I need a good manual to help out.

1984 300SD - Transmission slippage
I had the rear end on jack stands and the front wheels on the ground while I was doing rear suspension work (shocks, springs, cv axles). I kept getting interrupted and left the car in that position for about 3 - 4 weeks before I finished and now the transmission feels like it's slipping. I've never had transmission problems and I changed the fluid and filter a few months ago. No fluid leaked while the car was jacked. Was it a bad idea to leave the car in that position for an extended period of time? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, any suggestions? Thanks.
