Gerry, It’s not a B2 piston you need, it’s the K1 and K2 valves. They’re $5/each from a dealer and take all of maybe 3-4 minutes to replace when you’ve got the pan off the transmission.
I just did mine on the 300D, and it shifts like a totally different car. The 2-3 isn’t “stacked” like it used to be and the 3-4 comes in later and is smooth. I can get you the part number if you want it along with some instructions. The parts are the same for both, which makes it even simpler. -D > On Feb 9, 2017, at 6:00 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > When I bought my '83 300D in 2000 it had the reverse delay as well as a delay > between 2 and 3; neither of which could be corrected by adjustment. > Periodically I would decide to order a rebuilt transmission from Sun in > California but never got around to it.
