[W126 Coupe] Transmission Adjustments?

[Dick Spellman]

Moving the modulator adjustment 'T' counterclockwise one detente per 
road test at a time will result in a firmer shift.  The flaring actual 
creates greater wear on the tranny so a firm shift should result in 
improved longevity.

If you are getting a solid shift but want to see a bit more pep at the 
touch of the gas there is another adjustment that requires you loosen 
the 10mm bolt on the vertical tranny linkage at the firewall then take 
up the slack (play).  This will result in a sportier ride and is only a 
pain in stop n' go traffic where the car wants to leap forward rather 
than gradually build speed per MB spec in the adjustments section of the 
throttle linkage.

Regards,

Dick
