Hi, I have a 300D that has developed a chirp or squak sometimes when it shifts gears, usually the low gears. It makes the same noise if I abruptly let off the accelerator or abruptly press on the accelerator. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks.

Nobody has commented on this yet unfortunately. Has anyone experienced this before? I may just take it to a shop where they can shift it up on the lift and hopefully see where the noise is coming from. Maybe it helps to note that I have done much work with transmission systems to get this car shifting right. Troubleshooting vacuum system, adjusting the accelerator linkage, adjusting the bowden cable, testing the vacuum modulator etc. The car shifts smoothly now without excessive flare or excessively hard shifts, it just has this noise. I wonder if its bushings considering the rubbery tennis-shoe squeak characteristic of the noise. An abrupt let off of the accelerator can cause it as well. In fact I wonder if there is some slop in my rear drive line because an abrupt foot back on the accelerator after coasting causes a bit of a clunk. I have had the flex discs replaced recently as well as a new used rear diff, center carrier bearing and axle shafts, so I thought everything should be in order...

Hello all! We’ve got an 85 300D. A few months ago, out of the blue, the key wouldn’t turn. After looking online, I found that this is common on the older Mercedes. I got it to finally start and took it straight to the shop. They replaced the ignition cylinder. So now it has a new key for the...
My alternator keeps frying. I've had it repaired by a reputable vendor at least 3 times now. It will last about a week and then short out again. I got tired of taking it off and putting it on every few weeks and have resorted to using a trickle charge on the battery once a week or so for the...
I want to have a little extra visibility. If I were to install some daytime running lights, where could I get power for them? I would like it to come on when the key is on. Thank you guys for the help.
