[W126 Coupe] belts and transmission filter

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Gary:

4 of the belts are fairly easy to deal with from atop the car.  The belt 
to the air pump on my 83 takes a bit of extra effort from under the car 
where I have to move the crankshaft to rotate the belt onto the air pump 
pulley.  Hopefully yours will be easier.

As for the tranny change, you'll need to rotate the crankshaft to expose 
the torque converter drain bolt with the transmission pan and filter 
removed.  Removal of the torque converter bolt will allow the complete 
removal of another quart or so of tranny fluid.  No sense in doing a 
change if you do not change all of the fluid!

Snug up the pan bolts evenly and check for leaks when done.  Always work 
on the transmission keeping everything extra extra clean.
