Thanks for the part numbers and the low down.

My 83 300td shifted really nasty, flared, slipped and was sloppy to boot. Due to all the reading on this forum, I "fixed it" for about 30 cents worth of vaccum hose and a couple of BB's....yepper good vacuum is everything.

Put an offer in on another 300td and the lady called me back and I went to look at the car. She had told me it was low on power and did not shift good. I took some vac hose, and bb's with me. Cleaned the plugged banjo bolt, blocked off the EGR vac hoses, replaced the vac to tranny connection....totally different car.

I advise checking ALL vacuum connections as THE starting point on these older cars....it can make a world of difference!
