Re: [MBZ] Erm... 200T?

2012-06-03 Thread Hendrik & Fay 
Those boxes are fairly light and pulling them out of a 123 is relatively 
easy, compared to a 201.
If you are reasonably strong, you don't even need a jack to place the 
box in position, the 4 speed should be even lighter than the 5 speed.
$1000 is a bit high for a clutch replacement job but the clutches are a 
bit pricey, well they are here.

If it weren't carbed I might consider it, if it were a 5spd I'd already be on 
the plane ;)

Remember they made a 240TD too, this can't be that bad.

Thanks guys.  Looks like the bearing is a bigger job than I would want to
tackle this summer, and still end up with an underpowered car.  It is a
good deal on a 123 wagon chassis if it's in good condition, but at the
moment I need something I can drive.

If anyone wants me to take a look let me know.

Thanks,
Tim

Seller sounds like a tight wad wally, spends time and money replacing 
the clutch and doesn't do the bearing at the same time. It is also a 
good idea to overhaul the clutch slave cylinder while the box is out.
The 200T is a waste of time, as the 230TE uses the same amount of fuel 
and has more power.

The 200T was 10% cheaper than the 230TE.

I have to admit it looks pretty from the pictures.  I've never worked

out bearing?

With the engine running, press on the clutch and put the transmission in
gear. Throw-out bearing will be under load and could make noise if
failing. You should hear no noise in addition to the engine.

With the engine running, press on the clutch and put the transmission in
gear. Throw-out bearing will be under load and could make noise if
failing. You should hear no noise in addition to the engine.
