My Big Toy W126 300SEL: Rebuilding transmission #0

Rebuilding the transmission box of my Mercedes is what I long to do as I probably mentioned in earlier article, the transmission has some problems need to be fixed. I have never done any transmission rebuild before, but I really like to give it a try. So finally, before end of the year, I have gotten a chance to take 3 days off work to complete this rebuild work. And the transmission runs just like new when I put it back on my Mercedes after the rebuild!

Before going to details, I need to give many thanks to Siao Yeh, a professional car repair friend, for providing his repair shop and tools, and his professional assistance while we doing the rebuild together. Without Siao Yeh, it is literally not possible for me to perform the rebuild.

#0 Changing fuel pump before the transmission rebuild -
My Mercedes has been sitting on the side of the road for quite a while (license plate has been stopped to save tax money since I never really drive it). I had problem starting the engine so it was tolled to the repair shop, and I had to change a new fuel pump to fix the problem.

Old fuel pump is not working...
