Set up the box last night as per Georges procedure, took a couple of hours to figure out the instructions and convert everything to good old foot/pounds but here in a nutshell is what i did.....
If i had not followed this procedure after changing all the seals i agree i would of wasted my time.
I would of had no oil leaks but the box would of been really sloppy and i believe i would of been back to square one in a year or two.
Many thanks...

Dave H.,

You can moonlight as a tech writer for "Service Manuals for Dummies"

I am one who needs this type of clarity.   Maybe not a bad idea ...

250sl - later - manual
280sl - 1971 - Auto - LSD
