my transmission is shifting very hard and I need to replace the filter and transmission fluid. I understand there are at least two types of transmission so I need to identify which one I have. Also any recommendations on the type of fluid i should use. Thanks Bob

hello
I bought a 69 280s (second owner from new)1 year ago.It needs a full restoration so I started a mechanical restoration.The car was in storage for 5 yrs,and had not been started.I replaced all fluids and filters,had the carbs rebuilt,drained and power washed the gastank,replaced all ruber hose and lines,added new bosh platinum plugs,replaced fuel filters,overhauled the mechanical fuel pump,changed the points,ballast resistor,and ignition cables,cleaned and refitted the distributer cap and rotor,after all this the car only starts when gas is poured in the carbs and dies.I have poured fresh gas(87 octane)in the tank and some fuel stabeizer,poured a can of carb cleaner in the two zeniths, Replaced the fuel filters,

Hi, all; newbie here.

I'm not sure if I've selected the correct chassis number because MB use different classifications of their models over here in Europe; however, I should imagine that the principles would be the same, regardless of location... at least I hope so.

The problem I have is that my beloved Benz (E240 Elegance Tiptronic - 2597cc; registered November 2000) requires a new ignition switch. Enquiries made to dealerships have all quoted me a price of roughly $800 for a new switch and 'Green Key' (apparently needed to programme the new switch into the car's computer).

Here's the $64,000 question: can I use a salvaged switch (cost $40) and programme that into my car using a 'Green Key'?

Please... someone give me the answer I'm hoping for!
