I have a 1983 Mercedes Benz 240D with an automatic transmission and while changing the filter and fluid, I found 3 6mm flathead Phillips screws in the pan.
I have come to the conclusion that they have came from the front end of the transmission but the origin is not visible even after removing the valve body.
My guess is that I'll have to remove the transmission from the car and pull the front pump assembly, which is accessible from the front, inside the bell housing, correct? I believe that these could be pump cover screws on the back side of the pump assembly, but a diagram and/or picture of the pump assembly will be of further help. Help from one of you experts would be much appreciated
