Hi all..Have a problem with the autobox on my 89' 230te. Suddenly lost forward drive :( It will reverse fine though. Been told it could be the bands? I also have a 91 300te that I have been using for bits and pieces and wondered if the gearbox from this will fit? Many thanks in advance. Mark

Have you changed the oil & filter?

Take a look at the filter is it blocked with the remains of the clutch pack? ie: black bits.

I would try a new oil and filter if not been changed for some time you might just get lucky if the filter is fairly clean.

Good luck..

According to MB's Technical data passenger cars (Oct 1993) manual, your box is 722.408. The 1991 300 TE has 722.358 (with cat) or 722.320 (without cat). No idea whether any internal bits are interchangeable.
