Here in MA anyway gas is now $0.15-$0.25 a gallon more expensive than diesel. Even my friend with a Prius respects my 190D...

They definately play by different rules... Gas may stabilze here in a week or two with refining capacity coming back. I don't think it will go down with the driving season coming on. I think diesel may rise a bit but I don't think it'll break $3. Interestingly the recent price rise seems to have gotten people to conserve. I hear where demand has softened somewhat. -Curt Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 22:31:47 -0400 From: "Ed Booher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Anybody ever swap a 115 300D into 123?

Why is your trans pronounced dead? You said there is a delay in shifting into reverse. TO me that is normal, at least for trans with 100k to 200k or more. You also said that sometimes you need to rev the engine a little to get the shift into reverse. I've had that condition too, for years without a failure. A little frustrating, but no cause to spend 2-3k dollars that I can see. Maybe I have just had dumb luck. I know peace of mind probably means more to you than the money. I can appreciate that. I read constatine's description of checking and topping off the ATF. That is a good procedure`, and if the fluid level is correct, you may also have a vacuum problem. If you were on the other coast, I'd take it to Sun Valley and let them diagnose it. Best wishes Loren At 08:41 AM 5/24/2007, you wrote: >Why not rebuild mine?
