Kevin, Marshall would remind us all that the fuel, boost, and vacuum,?systems must be "right" before ANY linkage adjustments are made.?? This because wider throttle openings would be necessary if the engine is not producing the correct power.
A 0 to 60 time under 15 seconds would be a good starting point. Jim in Phoenix Thanks, Jim. That's what I thought, and the throttle linkage setup sounds like the most sensible place to start. I think that this tranny (722.3xx?) also has a control cable for shift timing. Now that spring is on its way, it'll be much more pleasant to crawl under there and "see" what's up. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Kraly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 2:03 am Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1983 300SD Shifting questions Thanks, Jim.
