Original to the car at the time I got the 300D. Right now the car is parked on a slope until I get dry day to pull it out to a flat area and jack up again.
While it was on the stands, I slid the transmission into gear both with brake on and without. Reverse did spin up but Drive was less willing to stay running. To move the car out of the street I popped it into gear without brake application so I could get a meter or so movement before it crapped out. All gears would engage when in position, but probably it was just Low gear, which was the only functional position prior to getting bushings installed. I just replaced large fuel filter (NAPA with HENGST) and will see if that aids in running. clay On Apr 12, 2015, at 3:41 PM, Curly McLain wrote: > It is possible for the TC to weld itself together.
