1984 300TDT shifting linkage adjustment
I unthinkingly started to unscrew the shifting linkage on top of the valve cover before removing the valve cover for adjustments. (1st time on OM617 engine) I quickly realized my folly but too late. All is back together but shifting is quite out of whack! How do you properly adjust that? I have tried to return it to where the "dirty" part of the linkage meets the connection. That made it work better, but initial startup from a stop is painfully SLOW! TIA for all your helpful responses!

'74 240D 115 Motor Mounts (w/AC)
Today I received my right motor mount and install instruction. Thanks for the timely shipping.
I have the left motor mount on order with MB. My understanding is that the left motor mount is much different in shape and install.
The instuctions do not cover the install of this left mount. Do you have any additional tips, or suggestions for this mount install?
Thanks in advance.

'83 300SD HEATER WONT SHUT OFF
My car is full of hot air! Even when everything is shut off, the heat still comes through the vents. If I turn on the ac, it only blows warm. Oh, and of course this only happens on hot days. What is it and how do I fix this ?!!! Thanks.

1982 240D Oil Cooler Hose Location
Hi Kent,
I have a slow and annoying oil drip originating at the base of my oil cooler. I suspect the hose connector(s) and/or oil cooler thread fittings.
I've been searching for a replacement cooler and hoses, but everything I've found (including items in your store) show an oil cooler with connections at the top and bottom.
For some reason, the existing hoses and cooler in my car have both input and output connections at the bottom of the oil cooler.
