Hi Bruce,
I wonder if that is the same unit that M-B used in the 1960's?
I have a 1968 280 SE that has been in the family since new with a Borg
Warner and it is still running well. The only problem I ever had was a
seized mechanical linkage for the kick-down feature outside the unit. Freed
it up and never had a problem since. They are inclined to be harsh shifting
and basically it operates like a manual transmission with an automatic
shift, four speed.
Regards,
Bob
