AT Metal Cooler Line Leak

I have an '83 W123 & have just noticed a fast drip coming from the area of the automatic transmission cooler line on the right/passenger side - along the engine & at the very point where the line bolts to the oil pan. I assume that this is the same problem mentioned in the "Alert" section. Question is, aside from the preventative fuel hose replacement, what sort of actual "fix" can be applied to stop & solve the leak? Has anyone fully repaired a leaking AT cooler (metal) line? thanks, Kieran- NJ

Early 90's electrical wiring harness problems

Just purchased a 1991 300sl, 104,000 miles. No problems to report, however, been reading about electrical wiring harness problems affecting certain model years from 1992-1996. Some report problems with the 1991 model years to 1996. does anyone know exactly what model years, and/or model cars/engines were affected? trying to figure out if I need to start a more detailed search under the hood. Can anyone offer any input?

1983 300D auto trans won't separate from engine ??

I have removed the engine & auto trans from a 1983 (built 12/82) 300TD. After removing all bell housing bolts I expected to be able to slide the transmission away from the engine. No luck. It appears to be stuck at about 3/4" to 1" seperation. Is there something I missed to release the trans or does it just need to be pulled apart with more force? -Mike
