Best way to adjust the Bowden cable is to remove the cap from the ball, pull on
the cable until you feel resistance, and see if the cap on the cable lines up
over the ball on the linkage. If it doesn’t, carefully turn the threaded
adjusting but on the cable jacket end to move the cable so it
The transmission shift points are INCREDIBLY sensitive to the adjustment of
underhood linkages etc. Like, one or two millimetres can radically change the
transmission's behaviour.
There is a detailed set of model-specific instructions in the MB 123 service

To dial in the trans, I recommend you get an actual pressure gauge and set the
