cls: got my car in the garage to start diagnosing some transmission vacuum issues and it turns out my particular model has the vacuum modulator on the passenger side of the transmission instead of the driver's side like every other goddamn one. Not off to a great start!

are there any decent manuals for mercs? I thought I remembered reading that none of them were any good

you sure you got enough fluid in there? your description in the weekend thread sounded like not. bad vacuum modulator usually manifests as really late shifts iirc

From what I've read about manual swaps not a single person who's done it has regretted it. Not sure I have enough fluid in the transmission and not having enough would explain a lot, but it's also bone dry down there so I don't see any leaks. In order to properly test the fluid level I gotta drive around a bit though so I figured I'd see if it was something silly like the vacuum line to the modulator fell off beforehand, it holds no vacuum at all as if it's not even there.

Gonna do some engine health stuff before driving it too, might as well get some easy wins in.

On the docket:

* valve adjustment
* compression test
* individual injector tests
* diesel purge
* throttle linkage revamp
* VCV test to make sure it bleeds vaccum at the right level and the right rate
* switchover vacuum valve inspection and possible overhaul
* some cleaning and detailing to make the engine bay nice and purdy

Going to take it to a shop down the road to get new motor mounts as well. I have the parts coming but the way my garage floor slopes on one side I don't think I'm comfortable attempting it myself
