126 /617 Engine shake at idle- Rack damper already done

Ok I am getting engine shake and it started about 4-5 months ago.
* When I start the car cold I do not get it.
* I can drive around in the city and it seems to never do it.
* If I drive on the highway and then exit after 5 or more minutes of sustained highway speeds (roughly)it does it and sometimes will not stop even after driving at city speeds. (UPDATE... it did it during city driving this morning once and then stopped at the next light, so I guess not it is just officially intermittent.
* I have replaced and adjusted the rack damper from upgrade bolt from MSource
* I have new fuel injectors from MSource (Monark ones)
* My car leaks nothing, not a drop from anywhere.

1981 300SD transmission problem ??

Yesterday my SD suddenly started not shifting beyond second gear. In addition, it remains in 1/2 regardless of where the gearshift lever is placed, including reverse, but does not lock up the drive train, i.e., it is not actually shifting into reverse. As a result I am surmising that this is a valve body issue rather than a gear train one. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, what was the solution?

Thank you in advance

126 Turbo Diesel Air Cleaner Bracket Replacement

Hey, just got the replacement bracket from you guys today. I am going to put it in but for the life of me cannot get anyting on that bottom 13mm bracket bolt below the exhaust manifold loose to remove the old one. Any trick you can advise me on? I have tried an extension, I also tried freeing up the clamp on the turbo and turning it down but just canot get the angle to get it lose. It grips sometiems but at an angle and barely and I do not want to strip it. A shorty is too short to reach it from along side the block and my long 13mm hits the turbo.

Much thanks

1986 300sdl WVO Fuel Injector maintenance

I have a Mercedessource inspired 2 tank WVO conversion set up in my 1986 300SDL. I have put on 14,000 miles since the conversion about a year and a few months ago. Everything is running fine.

What is the sign that I will see when my Monarch injectors need to be replaced? They have been on for all 14,000 miles. I don't intend to pull them off for the "fun" of it, because quite frankly it is a pain on the 300sdl's (getting to number 3 and 4 requires removal of the intake manifold.) So I want to only do it if needed.

Thanks for you advice.
