[W126 Coupe] Tranny Pump

[jralex at ix.netcom.com]

Comforting to know our loved ones are driving and SEC/SEL 126. Probably still the safest car on the road in collisions. Better gas miles with small cars but at what price. There are used parts in abundance for our cars at reasonable prices and with the knowledge base of this group and willingness to help it makes them worth keeping in shape. I still feel like I am getting away with something without guilt. Fifteen years ago my car cost over $80K! And for good reasons. We just don't know half the engineering that went into these machines. It is as if they built these cars around rebuild/maintenance considerations. Later, Jim Alexander
