[W126 Coupe] Transmission Adjustments? CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS POST

[Dick Spellman]

*I got this backwards...*.Moving the modulator adjustment 'T' 
(counterclockwise) should be clockwise one detente per road test at a 
time will result in a firmer shift.  Counterclockwise will result in a 
smoother shift and/or noticeable flaring.  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

If someone's tranny is operating normally, but they just want firmer
shifts, can they do that adjustment or will it increase stress on the
tranny?
