Auto Trans Gasket Leaking

Hi. This evening I was changing the filter and pan seal on my 1982 240d automatic transmission. When I put it all back together and poured the fluid in, it leaked out of the side of the pan pretty fast. I'm sure the seal is on correctly and I did'nt over tighten the bolts. I really need help on this since I wont be able to drive until I fix this. Any help would be very extremly appreciated.

560SEL Euro Manual ?

I recently bought a 1986 560 SEL which has been imported into australia i know not from where, but most likley from japan. The trouble is it has no owners manual or workshop one. The aircon does not work nor the sunroof and the brakes work but the brake pedal bounces now and again when applied hard. the car stops ok but is a worry to me.the merc dealer here can only supply an owners manual for a 1988/89. Would this be suitable for my car?

79 450 SL - Front end wandering

Car new to me, suspect car was in accident at some point. When driving 50-70mph on well worn freeways with deep "trucker tracks" the car wants to climb, or will make sudden directional changes. On normal roadways the car tracks perfectly stright and handles high speed curves with grace! When breaking the car breaks normally. Installed new front wheel bearings, no change. What items need to be checked? Tech info sugests sub-frame busing kit? Thanks RRC44

76 300D power steering noise

My mother's 76 300D has started to make a squealing sound when the car is turned. It seems to be temperature sensitive in that it has started and is worse now in the colder weather. It does not squeal when it first leaves the heated garage. My first thought was a loose belt as I had replaced all the belts 2 months ago. I did tighten it, even though it was not very loose. My only experience in pumps going bad is that they start to leak. Can a bad pump start to turn hard and make the belt squeal?

Problem with w116 280S carburetor

I own a 1976 W116 280S that used to run perfectly well but now problem is with its carburetor. Sometimes the float chamber has to be adjusted in order to run the engine and this is happening so frequently that I need a lasting solution to the problem. Otherwise at the rate which am experiencing the problem, I might get stuck right in the middle of nowhere.

head removal on 420 sel

I'm in the process of pulling the heads on my 420 sel, I have everything off and I'm trying to get the heads off the block. Any tricks to remove them. I have at least 2 bent valves from the timing chain rails breaking and the chain jumped 3 teeth on the left head and 5 on the right. Also I think I will pull the timing cover off to replace the chain because there are rail chunks down in the front, cover any good tips for that. thanks Lewis.
