thanks for the reply, how long has your 88 done that? it drives fine once its going, but i just want to make sure its not something that will suddenly get a lot worse? (like at a toll booth) i have just been down shifting before i come to a stop and then leaving the clutch in. either way the tranny ...

i thought it might be a clutch issue, and while i was under there yesterday i forgot to check that. i spoke to a mechanic today and he said this car has a hydralic clutch and would be self adjusting? i had my mechanic go through it before i bought it and he seemed to think the clutch was good. the c...

i just picked up a 91 740 turbo. it runs great but as i have been driving it i have noticed a tranny issue. when moving, it shifts great, both up and down. whats it doesn't like is to shift from nuetral to first after its been in gear and driving (cold or right after starting, it will shift fine). i...

hi, my 81 240 has i think too much wrong wiht it to fix it at this point. i'm going to look at a 1991 740 SE turbo 5 speed tonight. its through a dealer and has 122k on it. i've bought a few used cars, and generally check the oil, coolant and things like that, is there anything relating to the turbo...

thanks again,

on teh turbobricks page, there wa s page about a guy who boult a 240 station wagon into a 4 x 4.

so tonight, i got some of that dialectic grease and i removed the taillights, cleaned all of the contacts and covered all of the contacts in the grease. i noticed that the few bulbs that i have not had any problems with are the ones that still have the old grease on them. anyway, i took it for a spi...

thank you for the info. i changed some of the bulbs. it was odd, one worked then stopped and the other one wouldn't work then started. right now they both seem to be working. i did notice there seem to be two different style of bulb sockets in that the connections ar e a little different. i will pic...

this is my first post, i just aquired a 1981 244 dl. the car runs well, but there seem to be some issues with the taillights. when i got it the brake lights would not work, i cleaned the connections on the assemblies and the light holders and they started to work, then stopped. more fiddling, they w...
