Agree, that's what I thought. I'm hoping there's enough of it left in place to hold for a while. Did the W116 have the transmissions that were prone to the B2 piston failure? (Though this does not look like any part of that as far as I can remember, having replaced one a few years back in my W123.) > The car should not be able to move in park unless the parking pawl is > broken or a tooth or two are broken off the shaft or drum that it > locks.

To clarify: the pawl is working, it's more like it's not totally going into neutral. There's still a bit of power getting to the output so if I am stopped on level ground, put the gear selector in Park, and give it some throttle it will roll forward until the pawl catches. Will see what happens with fresh fluid and filter.
