Hello dear friends. I'm a young W124 owner with OM603 engine. My Rpm hits 3500-4000 at 130km/h. Is it normal? When I'm at 60-90 speed, my rpm is around 2500-2800.. And shift changes generally happen at 2500 rpm.. Is it normal? Or does it need an adjustment? And Here is my bowden cable in the picture. Is this the right point I'm looking for the adjustments? And also in the clock there are I, II, and III symbols above the speed numbers. When shifting it doesn't match with the symbols, it's a bit early shifting..

My transmission number is: 722415 02 516250

Welcome to the forum .A for adjustment you should find it in here = http://www.w124performance.com/service/Main.html
I know this page. But it not like my engine on the pdf files. My engine and adjustment cables (locations) looks different. Can you please check the picture of my car's engine in my first message and this pdf screenshot. They are not the same, or am I wrong?
