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.

85 300CD intermitent starting cylce
My 1985 300cd started acting up today. Car runs great... however today the Car did not start. I insert the key, turn the key to show glow plug lite on, wait for light to go out and then turn key. the key does not turn ( i mean it will not rotate clockwise anymore). Then i will rotate key back to off, pull key out, cycle the transmission from park to low to neutral several times. Then insert key and try again and sometimes it starts and sometimes it does not. Basically i Keep doing this procedure till it starts. After i start the car i drove the car 40 miles with no problems.

1980 300D only shift up to 3rd gear
I just bought a 1980 300d with 200k miles. It looks very well taken care off very clean and even the AC works. The problem is it will only shift the first 3 gears and will not do the last. I've been reading about checking the linkages for the Bowden cable to the transmission and throttle linkage to the injection pump,and vacuum hoses but how exactly do I calibrate or adjust the linkages? They look like they have threads to adjust but where is the right position? How is it adjusted clockwise or counter...Thank you.

86 300 sdl's tranny has problems...
At any altitude above 3000 feet my car's transmission shifts roughly, sometimes refuses to get out of second and when it does, will not go into fourth. I discovered this yesterday while on a trip up to Lake Tahoe- did not make for a pleasant experience as one might imagine. Is there a Barometric switch anywhere in the system that might have gone erk, or is there some other problem that might be the culprit? The Trans shifts normally here in the valley, if that's a help.

1978 300D WVO Cold Startup / Ignition Setup
I just bought my first Mercedes and the previous owner bought and installed the STC 1000. I'm finally filtering WVO and ready to fill it up and was looking over all the documentation/instructions he got from you guys and one thing was a bit
disconcerting ... it says (paraphrasing):
"turn the key to the accessory position before the glow plugs turn on to let the vegetable oil heat up for a certain amount of time depending on temperature and then turning it on to let the glow plugs warm up before starting."
