Hi all! I haven't visited the site for so long, but I have a new problem with my '85 240. About a week ago I was on the freeway when a fairly sized piece of tread came off my front tire. I pulled over and my car was smoking a bit. The next day I found out that the tread had somehow hit a part of the transmission and now it has a slow leak, which was the cause for it to smoke on the exuast. I left to get a new tire the next day following and after driving for about 15-20 miles the car kept sputtering and finally stalled. I decided to be safe and just turn around and go back home. The next day I made the same attempt into town. My car stalled and took about 10-15 minutes to start, so I came back home. I keep the tranny fluid at good level and keep filling it up. I noticed the cooler line seemed to be leaking (which the tread obviosly hit to make it leak). I don't understand why the car is stalling, since it has never done this before. I looked under the hood looking for loose wires, air filter... etc. The car does not overheat. Thanks for listening and good to see the brickboard again!
