Governor drive gear is plastic in these trannies and known to
fracture, leaving you with no governor pressure and hence absolutely
no upshift from first (verifty you don't have a stuck kickdown switch
or valve).
This can repaired in car, but you have to make sure there are not
plastic

Subject: [MBZ] 1980 300SD Transmission
To all,
It's been awhile since I've posted
I don't know how your engine compares to the 617 turbo, but when my 82 300SD
started running like a pig the problem was a leaky boost signal to the ALDA.
On my car there is a switchover valve that dumps the boost pressure (to the
ALDA) when it gets an electrical command from the transmission.
I don't know how far or how fast- I do know when I do my 70 mile each way
commute on I95 it stays clean. About 300 miles/week @ 70- 80 mph. My
recently acquired 300CD had same problem. My late father- former truck
driver used to tell me son drive a diesel like you stole it.
On Thursday,

Do you guys have suggestions about finding a used tranny? I don't feel
like the extra money for a new/rebuilt is worth it due to the car's
age, etc. I've been searching the web, craigslist, etc, but have found
little. Thanks
There are a coupla SDs in the knackers near me, I think one of them had
a bad tranny as there were empty tranny fluid bottles in the car, the
other one, who knows? It would be a bugger to get one out from there
though, and not knowing the condition would be quite iffy.
Wonder if any of those
