I ♥ my Sonderklasse.

Well, the trans is done for, won't even go into gear now. Looking at the possibility of a 5 speed swap.

with flex disks going that soon, you might wanna look into getting your driveshaft rebalanced. they shouldn't rip that easily.

It was one of those shitty Üro brand parts. I went with the OEM part this time, shouldn't have a problem.

Lovin' the benz! Makes me wanna find one myself.

ouch... gotta buy the good parts maing. Thats an important piece. Glad to hear you got the right one coming in. Love the ride BTW.

Replaced the flex disc again today. This one only lasted 4 months. Won't be buying anything from Üro parts again..

in regards to the trans, take a look at the page. after the text about what happened, he details different components of the trans and what controls them.
i found this looking for why my 190e's trans lost first and second gear. good info

Thanks for the link. I'll have to order the K1 K2 kit and see if it helps at all. My flex disc died again. This time I ordered the good one.

It runs fine, but it needs to be rebuilt, runs rich, burns oil, low compression. But the trans needs to be rebuilt before the motor, trans lost a gear.

did you ever get the motor running correctly or do you think you still need a new motor?

Ain't no amount of screwed up toe that can cause that kind of wear. Looks like it's been driven around low on air for a while.

Yeah, I think it was low on air, I said to myself check it, but never did. Oh well, will take it as a lesson for the future.

Had a flat the other day, finally had the time to take the tire off.

Got a new tire yesterday, as luck would have it the used tire shop had the same tire that had blown out on me. So I bought it. $35 is better than $114 for a new one.

Washed the rides today, gonna hit a exhaust shop tomorrow for a quote to get my exhaust done, and take it to get aligned as well.

Just some random pictures I took of the cars when I was washing them today.

I really like this one.





I picked up coilovers for the front of the Camaro, so she'll be a little bit lower soon.

Have you had the car aligned yet? It looks like those front tires were getting asshammered by massive toe-out. Those tires should have lasted you a good long while.

Also, please don't paint it flat black. This is a classic, cool Mercedes, not a Civic. A good polish job would make this thing pop.

I haven't, its needed it. Will be doing that as soon as I get a new tire, only the driver front died like that, passenger side is still new.

I'm gonna repaint the body the same color it is, and I've decided I'd rather polish the intake.
