I have a 1986 190E. The trans has recently decided that any sort of acceleration forward or back is too much to ask. And a new one is so far out of the question.... so, if you have a parts car in your yard, if you know anything about them and want to give a girl suggestions/help it would be GREATLY apprecriated! Im trying to learn, but my cars breaking too quickly for me to keep up. Thanks!

i dont know if this is any help, but i figured id give it a shot

 

How many miles are on it?

Chances are your transmission is fine and you will save probably about $500-$1000 if you find out what is causing it and don't replace it. If it's jerking in gears, flaring, makes a 'chiink' noise when shifting at a dead stop or when reversing, or vibrates then it's probably not the transmission.

Check out 190revolution.net, become a member and use their search feature. You'll find thousands of posts on the issues above

OR as an alternative eBay has some very nice transmissions for sale starting from I think $100 excluding shipping.
