- Hey there,
Giving a brief video on how to replace your old Mercedes W124 chassis K1 Flare shift kit. Over time you can be experience hard shifting in your transmission so this $10 part from Mercedes can help solve that problem.
Serviced on my 1989 Mercedes C300E 3.0L C124
Great video, was curious if you remember, how much oil would drain out when simply opening the pan? i recently changed my fluid but wanna do the k1 now. Also do you know if k1 has anything to do with shifting at idle, such as from P to D. Cause i get a jerk into D, but not when engaging R. Thanks
Thanks so kuch
Hey! Great video! I have a 220TE with automatic transmission. The problem is that shifting from the 2nd to the 3rd gear is really slow. The engine revs up high during the process because it takes long until engine and transmission are reconnected. The same goes for shifting from the 3rd to the 4th gear but not for 1st to 2nd. Do you think this has to do with worn and torn springs? Greetings from Berlin, Germany! :-)
Hi there Chriss, I actually ended up selling my W124 few month after this video. As a Mechanic I would suggest giving it a try for how in expensive it is. I'd drain the ATF fluid, and replace the Transmission filter with the new spring from the Dealership.
@@shookones2216 Thank you for your response :-)
@@chrissroyale5070 How did you get on, Chriss?
Late reply, but if all the other gear shifts are okay I would say it is certainly the K1 spring!
I have a 300TE 1992 with an engine m103 you think i can do this on it as well, because I found the part on ebay along with k2 with the same part number?!
Yes you can do this on it. You can order the Part from your local Mercedes Dealership and it only costs $10 with no shipping charges. Make sure you drain your Torque Converter and Transmission pan the night before so it's not as messy and can be done quicker.
Billy Majeau Thank you so much for the info, much appreciated
My w124 300e had a shift problem from first to second and it switches whenever I leave my foot from the gas, but later then it started flaring or have a delay on other gears, is it possible that the k1 spring is doing it? Or do I need to do clutch pack rebuild?
Hello Ziad, I can't said for sure what the problem maybe. My 300CE never had a shifting problem, I was only doing this due to new filter and ATF. I might be worth changing you're transmission filter and ATF along with the Flare spring.
Question, if yours never had the flare, how does it behave with this K1 installed anyway?
Hey David, I don't have the C124 anymore. If you don't have any hard shifting patterns then I would not change it. Only unless you're shifting is hard or erratic.
Hi so do the plastic bits on ?both ends of the spring clip together when compressed
Hello, not entirely sure what you're question is?
@@shookones2216 on the long spring of the k1 accumulator you have one white plastic button bit and on the end another plastic bit with a long tube with a hole on the end. Now you said that you had to clamp the two ends of the spring together so both plastic bits on the ends of the spring join or clip into one another. Now my question is do those two plastic bits on either end of the spring clip together? Because to me the spring looks compressed and so something is keeping it compressed. So I was wondering if those 2 plastic bits on the ends of the spring clip into one another?
One end is black plastic with a long tube with a hole on the end and the other end is a long white bit with a widened tip on the end. So in reference to my last reply do those 2 bits clip into one another?
I honestly can't remember. I haven't had this car for 2 years. I sold it. @@alfaman4113
