[W126 Coupe] Maintenance question

[Dick Spellman]

Camran,

transmission kit components are:
Pan Rubber Gasket
Transmission Filter
Torque Converter Plug seal (flat crush washer)
Transmission Drain Plug seal (flat crush washer)

Order it up from Jonathan.

Brake Fluid is standard DOT 3 available anywhere.  If using a pressure 
bleeder pumped to 30 lbs as required to move fluid past the ABS pump, be 
sure and buy the two rubber brake reservoir caps from local MB dealer as 
these will be cracked if original and blow with the required pressure 
bleed.  Sequence is pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front.

Do you have a pressure bleeder set-up or need a reference?

I agree with preferred use of pre-mixed MB anti-sneeze fluid.

Regards,
Dick
