1981 300D: Valve adjustment = shifting problems
Short story - a rushed valve adjust on a 1981 300D. While moving vacuum box attached to top of valve cover, ALL five vacuum lines became dislodged. And no, I didn't jot down a diagram or take a photo first.
So, I put the lines back in as best I could remember, but now the inevitable shifting problems have appeared. Seems fine on level, but not so hot on hills (revs as if slipping intermittently, doesn't shift or downshift correctly some times). All was just fine before the valve adjust. And I can't find any other dislodged lines or cracked lines/connectors.
I know little of this, but it seems the positioning of the five vacuum lines leading to the rubber block attached to the valve cover box is critical.
