I am not sure I have had several cars that would not shift out of 1st (or 2nd) and came to the conclusion in those cases it was something with the governor. It would also be a stuck kick down solenoid but I would think it would at least upshift at or near redline though.

'Not a "rodbender." '90, '91 350SD's & SDL's (126's) and '92 - 94/5 350 140's are the "rodbenders," though my 91 350SDL @ 191 kmi seems OK so far, 'cept broken triming chain at 89 kmi.

Allan Streib wrote: > Rodbenders are the 350 engines, not the 300 right? Right, but some of the 3.5s had names like S300D. The easiest way to remember is if it's a 126 or 140 from the 1990's, it's got a defective 3.5 or a replacement engine in it, or it wasn't made for the USA market. If it's a 300SDL from the 1980's it has a solid bottom end, just watch out for trap oxidizers and cracked heads. AFAIK, all the 1990's E class (W124 and W210) engines were pretty solid, but the 606 had some fuel line issues. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
