86 300SDL grasping at straws here
I am having a meltdown here all the usual suspects are rounded up. My 1986 300SDL (that I have spent more time working on than driving no kidding) is a great car has me perplexed. It started and ran fine one day the next started and idled fine but gives me about 100RPM increase when I push the throttle with foot or under the hood so all the linkage is moving the way it should.

86 SDL RPM hits a wall
For no reason at all I have no throttle response it will get up to about 1000 RPM and hit a wall. It wasn't like that yesterday. I have new injector nozzels balanced clean hard lines new filters (pre-filter is the aluminum filter I got here) diesel purged. the only thing I did was install a trans vac.

1986 420 SEL rear tranny seal replacement
n/a
Can someone give me some info on what a reasonable cost would be to replace the leaking rear seal on the transmission of this car. I understand that the tranny must be removed so it is not something I can tackle myself. Plus, there are specialized tools etc. required to do the job correctly.

1984 300sd Vacuum Readings
1984 300sd: Need to know vacuum spec. readings other than the'ol 20-23"
from the main vacuum hose.
Does anyone know the readings to:
transmission modulator value= 15-20"?
shutoff valve value= NEED THIS ONE
door actuator value
ignition switch
door check valve at firewall
Are the readings all suppose to be the same? 20-23 in of vacuum
I have Kent's books but do not see vacuum readings at the different branches of different systems aforementioned.
Thanks, Rafe.
