The Albatross (240D) started exclusively in second, unless
you either floored it or moved the shifter to L. If you
drove around in S (as most in-town driving is best done
at) it was essentially a 2-speed tranny.

Whether it actually starts in 2nd or not may actually be a simple
misunderstanding on the part of the PO. As far as I'm aware, all of the 722.3
transmissions used in later 123 and 126 models stay in second when stopped
UNTIL you touch the accelerator, whereupon they instantly kick down to first.

I have been looking for a 1985 300TD and checked one out today. However,
it's the CA version 300TD with a catalytic converter and different air
cleaner. The owner says that the transmission is also different than the
normal 1985s, and that the car starts in 2nd gear. I was wondering whether

BZZZTTT! Wrong!
The '78 uses a different slave, the bolt holes don't line up. I spent probably
an hour under the car trying to make it work. '78 is indeed a 123, I think they
started in '77 but its got some transitional elements, the throttle pedal

The '78 slave is different than the '83 slave, as to why I couldn't say... They
are not interchangeable, the holes won't line up to put the later slave on my
car.
As the question 2, no, in fact I have to squish the rod down a little to get
the bolt to line up at the top of the pedal. Thats why
Anyone have good advice on testing an old 300D 115 normally aspirated

I just remember how I do 61x engines thru the glow plug hole. I

It depends on the tester and the adapter you are using. They have
