Are you talkin to me? Because what you're saying doesn't make anything I've said wrong. Went to the shop today, printed to Microsoft Office Document Imaging (ie .MDI) the MB specified values for starting gear given throttle position; I can't provide a document number, but will post a printout as soon as I convert it to a .pdf. I can email anyone interested a copy of the MDI in the mean time. In the mean time, I can give you guys they synopsis. According to MB, the following are the starting gears for transmissions by chassis/ engine type. with selector in "D" Chassis 107,123, & 126 with engine 110, or 617.95 - 2ND GEAR START 103 motor in 107, 124, and 126 - 2ND GEAR START 116 Motor and 117 Motor in 107 & 126 Chassis - 2ND GEAR START 603.96 in the 124 and 126 Chassis - 1ST GEAR START Argue all you want, this proves I'm write. I am not, however, infallible - I wrote earlier that an 83 300D has a 722.315 - thats not entirely correct - it could also have a 722.416 depending on application. If you'd like to argue with that, please have some sort of documentation to back up your talking - "Oh my car did this" or "all the ones I've seen did this" is not documentation This thread has become comical to me.
