well it says its an automatic but says it needs a clutch a throw out
bearing. Thats about like saying a diesel needs new spark plugs.

This is just down the road from me, so I am compelled to go take a
look. What could be wrong with a W126 trans that doesn't shift into
4th, knowing that the seller has already eliminated the clutch and
throwout bearing as possibilities? ;)
I know, of course, that I need to look for the dreaded single-row
timing chain on the 3.8 liter... is the difference between single- and
double-row chains obvious once I get a valve cover off?
Anything else to look for? I've never driven a gas 126 or a coupe,
but have test-driven 300SDs and SDLs at various times so I have a
rough idea what the car ought to feel like if the suspension is in
decent shape. (And I should expect it to have about the same amount of
grunt as an SDL, right?)
