1985 300TD - ALDA adjustment
If I adjust the ALDA as described in the 617 Diesel Performance Tuning and Repair Manual, is the fuel mixture enriched across the range of acceleration or just from standing?
What does A.L.D.A stand for? Perhaps its something in German?

1980 300D "passing" gear and faint whistle when turning right
If I push on the accelerator with only modest pressure (especially when the car is cold), it often jumps into what I assume is a "passing" gear. I've dealt with the problem by just being cautious with the accelarator - often, I just let up on the gas when I hear it jump into "passing" mode, but I was wondering if there's a repair I can try.

'83 300TDT NeedleBearings in Filter
I recently put a used transmission into a friends car, and adjusted it according to the mercedessource manual with the mercedessource tools, etc.
The used unit I pulled was from a crunched car ( a good sign the car was being driven before arriving in the junkyard) the fluid was clean, didn't smell, as well as no metal in the pan. The number matched (722.315). It seemed like a good donor.
It was without a torque convertor, so we used her existing one — draining it prior to installation, etc.
When we first put the transmission in, it shifted WAY better than the old one ever did — which the friend had for about 10 years. Seemed like great news, and a successful transplant.

85 300D Vacuum Shutoff Problem
n/a123 1985 300D Turbow
Tested diesel shuoff valve as per instructions
Pumped up vacuum to 10, but was unable to shutoff engine and the vacuum dropped off rapidly. I did this three times with same results. Removed valve and inspected. It didn't appear to be leaking any oil.
Tested valve and it closed at 5 and held vacuum. Tested three times with same results. Pumped up to 10 and it held all night with no loss of vacuum.

1985 300TD Overheating in the Mountains
My w123 runs at normal temperatures in day to day driving about town and on the freeway. However, when driving up through the Sierras recently, the gauge climbed steadily to near the red. The temperature decreased on the decents.
Before I drive up to the mountains again in about a month how can I troubleshoot the problem?

1984 300D dash board temp.sensor
How does the little air vent, mounted top center dash, sample the interior cabin air temperature? What does the tube connect to? Does it draw air in by the means of pump or just passively? My heat just doesn't want to stay constant and I have replaced monovalve, thermostat, etc. Thanks for anything anyone has to offer.
