If I remember right, the W123 diesels, up to about 1984, didn't have
the vacuum amplifier. These systems were much more sensitive to vacuum
leaks and adjustment. Starting in 1985, they incorporated the vacuum
amplifier.
Wouldn't surprise me if a properly sealed and adjusted vacuum system
wouldn't
Interesting!
So I guess mercedes themselves eventually decided that the vacuum
amplifier was unnecessarily complicated? If so, that settles it. I'll
keep it this way :)

Theres an article there on transmission vacuum adjustments...

The 124 FSM pages on adjusting the transmission would be very helpful!
If you can send them I would be very grateful.
I do have a W201 manual on adjusting the throttle linkage. It's weird,
but I tried adjusting the valve on the IP to both extremes, and
couldn't notice any difference in how t

the modulator output from 3 inputs: turbo boost, IP valve/regulator,
and vacuum pump vacuum. What I don't know is:
-Which hose connects to which port on the amplifier?
-How do I know if the IP valve/regulator is adjusted prop
Seems like there was a tranny shop which has vac diagrams on their web page.
At any rate, the tranny vac must go through a vac regulator on the IP, attached
to the throttle linkage. If it's not obvious how to fix it, you would be better
off driving 300 miles with no tranny vacuum than with a slip
I have a 1987 190D Turbo, and the previous owners mechanic brilliantly
"solved" a transmission control vacuum leak by hooking the
transmission modulator directly to the vacuum pump, so it flared/
slipped like crazy but didn't shift harshly. I'm trying to reconnect
everything properly, but ca
