Forgive me, I've just spent half an hour digging through the forum and have yet to locate the info I need.

On the OM617, I just play with the bowden cable to time the shifting - and I don't see one on this 240D.

Symptom: hangs on to a gear too long for my liking...modulator pressure seems fine, not too firm - all vac hoses present and correct, fluid level is fine...what am I missing here?

Thanks in advance to all.

Try searching 'Mercedes Benz Diesel testing and adjusting vacuum control valve and modulator pressures with gauges' in Group 27.

Thanks buddy. Tranny modulator flippers could use replacing, found a cracked vac line under the cover too - more and more like a 126.

It is all controlled by vacuum, so a vacuum leak means late and hard shifts.
