Mercedes Technical Videos - Learn to do it Yourself the Easy Way!

TECH VIDS HAVE ARRIVED

After much prodding by his two sons (who just happen to be in the filming business), Kent has deciding to fully commit to producing a series of technical videos on troubleshooting and repairing older Mercedes. Each will be approximately 3 to 8 minutes in length. His goal will be to take some of the mystery out of solving common mechanical problems that most owners face.

Mercedes Automatic Transmission Shifter Bushing Installer

Gets up into tight places - highly recommended for 124 and especially 201 chassis

Item: TUL-COMSBIT
$48.50
Shifter Bushing Installer

Works on all models from 1968 to 1995 that just the nylon shift linkage bushings located on the transmission shift arm and the shift control arm. This special tool will allow you to install new bushings in record time. On some 124 and 201 models you would normally have to remove the transmission shift arm due to limited space. But with this tool you can reach up into the transmission tunnel and squeeze the bushing right onto the arm. This is one clever tool. NO INSTRUCTIONS included.

Must have for any Mercedes D.I.Y.er

Item: TUL-COMNOR397
$24.50
$19.95 On Sale!

This must-have kit does not only have hard-to-find metric sizing, but the o-rings are made out of nitrile which holds up better to heat and is more resistant to oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, silicone and even water. Kit contains 30 different common METRIC sizes ranging from 2.8 mm ID to 47.7 mm ID.

Just being able to use one or two of these o rings in an emergency to solve a leak or prevent a trip to the hardware store will pay for the kit.  Just think of having 382!!!

Mercedes Diagnosing, Adjusting and Fine Tuning Mercedes Automatic Transmissions

For me 2010 is going to be the year of the transmission. I hope to deliver a number of kits and manuals that will help you solve your transmission woes. As these diesel automatics age the problems become more complex and the solutions more challenging. I hope you will find these kits and manuals helpful in sorting out your own transmission woes. I am working hard on this and having more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Kent Bergsma

Mercedes How Can I Tell if My Automatic Transmission Needs Replacing?

The following are key signs your transmission may be in trouble. 

  1. Burnt smelling transmission fluid (dark in color)
  2. Fine metallic particles in the bottom of the oil pan
  3. Delay in shifting out of park. More than 1 second to engage in reverse or drive
  4. Won't shift into higher gears or does so reluctantly
  5. Transmission jerks or slips between shifts

But before you let anyone try to convince you to replace it, DO proper diagnose first!  Here are some diagnostic tips and some things you can do to improve performance and extend its useful life:

For 3 banjo bolt connections 1970 to 1980

Item: TRS-COMETBBR
$3.90
Some of the most common transmission leaks on the early automatics come from the banjo bolts that connect the filler tube to the bottom of the pan and the two transmission coolers lines to the lower front transmission housing.

Mercedes Helping Hands Glove Assortment

Dont want dirty finger nails - we have got the gloves!

Item: TUL-GLOVEASSORT
$6.50
Helping Hands Glove Assortment

When I was a kid working on old Ford street rods there was no such thing as nitrile gloves and to wear gloves then was considered sissy. Not so today. I would not even consider working on a car anymore without gloves. In fact my hands feel real naked without them. Experience has shown that one glove will not do the job in all cases. I have four types of gloves in my arsenal. Three of them are of the disposable type and one is a more permanent working glove that I call the super glove.

Mercedes All Models Body, Chassis and Suspension High Performance Grease

107 108 114 115 116 123 126 201 124 129 Best Moly Lube

Item: TUL-COMSLMG
$7.95

I have used a LOT of different kinds of grease in my lifetime - but this is my favorite. It has a high molybdenum and grahite content and does not dry out over time. It also has a great resistance to water and moisture deterioration. Just the right consistency - not too thick so it can get into tight places - not too thin so it stays in place.

On the body I use it in door check straps, window gears and mechanisms, seat tracks, door latch assemblies, sunroof cables and gears, hood and trunk hinges and any other metal to metal wear location. On suspension and chassis I use it on wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, u-joints, backing plates and more.

This 14 oz can is usually more than enough to service most Mercedes Benz. A must have in your tool box!

Mercedes PRO LOK Removable Blue Thread Locker

High Quality Thread Locking Compound Affordable Size

Item: ACC-COMPLPT
$3.85
Threadlocker small blue

This removable threadlocker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and cures rapidly and reliably when confined between metal parts. Use it to lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the removable type (meaning that it can be easily removed with hand tools). Comes in small .20 Fl oz. bottle great for most small jobs.

Excellent for all work around diesel engines to prevent vibration failure and breakdowns. If you need the red more permanent type CLICK HERE.

Mercedes 1/2 Inch Drive Clicker Torque Wrench 20 - 150 Ft. Lbs.

Item: TUL-COM12TW
$29.95
torque wrench
If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly you should use a torque wrench. In fact if you do your own work you should have a 1/2 inch clicker torque wrench in your tool box. I know why you don't have one. They tend to be expensive for the limited amount you might use one. Well, now you can get a quality one for a very good price. This is a special offer and we only have a limited number in stock.

It comes with a nice molded plastic case and instructions. This wrench is 18 inches long for good hand torque and it is made in Taiwan. Much better quality than those made in China.
