At this point there is a good chance I will go with Rusty for a rebuilt - along with a new AC compressor. The used one I put in only lasted a couple of months before it started making significant noise. My Indy [also my nephew] has a place that rebuilds MB transmissions for him [and he does their mechanical work] and he is going to check their price for me on Monday. Don't think even a 'professional friend discount' will beat Rusty's on the AC, but the transmission could be cheaper done here. Monday will be when I find out. BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD 295k miles on the car; ? miles on the engine [runs good, but the supplier promised but never sent info; and probably 0 miles on the transmission as of next week.
