New Transmission Questions
OK! How's everyone doing?
Today I picked up my 1991 300E from the transmission shop after having the trany remanufactered (every movable part was replaced). I lost reverse about a month ago which from everything I learned from the forum is a predictable problem for a car with 200K miles on it.
Driving home from the shop, I noticed that the car would shift into the next gear (first to second, second to third, etc.) at about 3000 RPM. Is this a little high? I would shift at a lower RPM if I ease off the gas pedal. The shifts in all gears are smooth but occur at this high RPM.
I'm bringing the car back on Monday. It's got a 2 year 24K mile warrenty on the work. What should I be asking them or looking for?
Thanks,
Nick

So Called "Bowden" cable
It "Snakes Up" from the Transmission and has an ADJUSTABLE end on it
with a Ball Socket where it connects to the Accelerator Linkage.
The "Adjustment" determines the Shift Points.
No.19 is the Ball Socket,No.15 is the Adjustment Nut.
"Detach ball socket (19) and pull control pressure
cable forwards until slight resistance can be felt. In
this position, hold the ball socket over the ball head
and attach; if necessary, adjust by means of the
adjusting screw (15)."
The "Adjustments" to the "Bowden" cable are made with the Accelerator Linkage at the ZERO throttle Position.
