61x Diesel Automatic Transmission Tuning Manual
Lets face it! Diesel automatic transmissions can be troublesome, particularly those models that use vacuum to control shifts. This is largely due to the fact that diesel engines don't produce vacuum naturally. It has to be artificially manufactured. This is what makes diesel transmission tuning difficult. The numerous vacuum and pressure controls that were added to make it shift properly can create all kinds of problems when they fail or get out of adjustment.The big challenge in writing the manual was to clearly explain how to get all these controls working in harmony for the transmission to operate at peak efficiency.

Mercedes Maintenance Metric Combination Wrench Set - Kent's Favorite - SPECIAL PURCHASE

Made by Allen Industrial Tools - Only $10 with any order of $75 or more

Item: TUL-SPECIALCWS
$16.95
$10.00 On Sale!
This item is currently Sold Out.

Here is what Kent says about these wrenches: " I am very picky about the "feel" and "fit" of my combination wrenches. Some are just too smooth and slippery, while others just don't feel good in your hands. Then their are those who have real thick heads that make it hard to get on close quarter nuts and bolts (like Kobalt). A lot of the real cheap wrenches don't fit tight on the heads, thus causing rounding off of the heads (like a lot of them)!!

Fits most models 1969 to 1995 - Genuine Mercedes Part - see description for application

When this seal deteriorates you may see evidence of power steering fluid seeping out of the bottom the the adjustment locknut (located on the top of the steering box). Kent recommends if you are planning to loosen your locknut to adjust the play in your steering box that you purchase this new nut ahead of time. Fluid leaks are not fun!
