Nice

"The car runs and drives however the tranny will not leave 1st gear..."



Could be a NICE steal, most likely a stuck kickdown switch or solenoid.

ps2cho

Or the throttle linkage could be broken maybe?
Either way $700 is a steal! I paid $700 for a what used to be a ****ty condition 260E!

Anyone noticed the mod to the center console?

rivcal4life

Yeah thats pretty wild. Something out of a w140 maybe?

watut

I wish that was closer to me id go grab it

appatula

Exactly!


It's not to far from me, I wonder how many parts would be compatible with my 300E??

....I need a parts car badly at this point.

ps2cho

^ Most all should be minus the temp sensor and a few computer elements due to yours not having a check engine light -- only an O2 sensor.

appatula

Then what is my check engine light for?! Just o2 diagnostics?

vili1982

As he stated, the centre console is from an S600, btw, where the hell are his climate controll switches and fan switch??

ps2cho

You have check engine? Not O2 Sensor? Hmm....I thought 88 was the first year they introduced the CEL. Before that it was just an O2 sensor light. Maybe not then? I wonder what the deal is?

Actually you might be correct, I had to buy a new cluster off ebay as my old one crapped out, but all of the electrical connections are exactly the same on the back with the ambient temp LCD being the only exception.
