Dear List, Just a thank you to everyone who called with advice or ideas about my transmission leak in the 84 300D -- especially to Tom Savage, who spent three hours out of his Sunday morning helping me diagnose what exactly was wrong.
Some friends came from Kansas City with a hitch and we towed the car through the night here to KC; right now it's at an independent Mercedes mechanic being looked at. His initial guess is that it's the front fuel pump (?) in the transmission which was going bad; the bushing was vibrating too much and it blew the seal. It doesn't look like a cheap fix. Thanks to everyone for all the help; this List truly is great. Thanks, Jim Vogel __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
