1985 300D trans kickdown switch not engaging ??

Flooring the accelerator pedal does not engage the kickdown switch on the automatic transmission. The pedal reaches its stop before the rod under the pedal can depress the switch. I tested the switch and it is good. Can I adjust the control pressure rod to allow more accelerator movement without damaging the transmission or throwing it out of adjustment? Is this adjustment easy to do?

82 300d gradual electrical failure

My gifted 82 300d seems to have cancer of the electrical systems. First windows, then blowers and heat/cool, now locks. Where do I start looking (Seems to originate in the panel between the seats)? Is this too much for a mech head girl with no time and no garage in a cold place? Car came from my brothers estate, know he replaced a lot of engine parts, hate to dump it, but need to be realistic.

1985 300CD rear axle boot repair / interchange ??

I believe I'll have to order your can style axle drive shaft, Item: SRG-COMNRAS. After hearing a loud knocking noise, sounding like a loose U-joint, I discovered both boots torn on the left axle. No idea how long they've been this way. I cannot make the axle move to show looseness by hand and the knocking is not all the time while driving. The left axle is the can style. The right axle is the bolted spyder cover style. The boots are not torn through yet, but show cracking. Do you sell replacement boots for this style? I was not able to find this specifically on the web site.
