Re: [MBZ] 450SL Tranny ?

[Rich Thomas]

I'll have him check that out, see if it is buggered up at all.  Does 
this tranny have the B2 (or B4?) valve that breaks?  Does it have vac 
assist?  I'm trying to narrow things down from "the transmission is broken."

R,

Don't overlook a failing kick down switch, probably under the throttle  
pedal.  If sticking closed it will elevate shift points and nearly lock out  top 
gear.
