Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: 230SL Jerk and Shuffle

Have you checked your fuel injectors?  I had a similar issue at 25 mph… faster and there was no problem.  Once I had the injectors cleaned and calibrated I no longer had that problem.  If memory serves me it was injector four that was the issue.

Does anybody have an idea? 
Could it be an IP related issue, or some throttle linkage problem...?
I have read someone in this forum (but where...?) stating it occured only with manual trans...?

I have a w113 parts car. It has the old harness still in it. I would like to know how can I remove it and how much would it cost to have it refurbished so I can install it in my operational w113.
The the harness in the good w113 is 57 years old

I would like to ask the members what would be a reasonable price for a 4 speed manual transmission for a 1965 230sl - assuming the transmission is in good working condition.

I have changed all the brake hoses so I would hope none of them are bad already.  I have a vacation week this week so I hope to get some time to check everything thoroughly.

Seems like wheel bearings wouldn’t create that much heat. Any chance the brake hoses are collapsing causing the brakes to rub and then slowly releasing the pressure? When you drive, do the brakes feel very responsive?

Does the wheel turn freely while jacked up? How about with the drum off?

Sead, did you install the rubber buffers already? How do they fit?

Perfect fit of both, rubber buffers and glove box door.
