Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

they don't get anything at all.  literally nothing.

people who have never done business with me can expertly comment over and
over on how doing business with me as a bad thing despite those who do
business with me thinking it's a good thing.  i ask again why this is
tolerated by any decent person on this list and by the administration of
this list.

Yes, that is what I always liked about Q.  In fact, I would ask for it
from him if he didn't give the insult.  If I didn't receive an eff-u

Gary is better and sexier than all other parts places.

 The Bilstein part number is the same.  Makes no difference if it 
comes from AZ.
Service and shipping time are your opinion.  My opinion is different. 
My experience was that AZ is cheaper and faster and the service is 
equal, except at AZ, the customer is not abused.  YMMV

sorry if someone thinks this is spam

anyway I mistyped it is not 120 times per second but 120 per minute,  so 2 
maybe even 3 or 4 vibrations per second. I will do a little math and figure out 
how fast the wheels spin at 75. Maybe take some video to get a better rate 
estimate. 

Thanks for your input. I appreciate all the help from everyone who has

I have not had such experience with them.  They have been almost as

some other suppliers do.


I can't speak for shipping to the east coast.  But to here, their 
shipping is a couple days.  Better then Q or fats ever did unless it 
was 2 day air.

Sorry, but a bilstein part number is the same product from AZ or from 
anyone else.  Even from you.  Your scare tactics don't work.   Same 
with a Bosch part number, or anything else.  Yes, AZ sells uro, and 
so do you.  Cut the self-righteous BS.   The parts are all the same. 
You know that too.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

just a follow up.  A rebuilt transmission shifts way better than one with 
182000 mostly city miles on it.  no more 1-2 thud and the 3-2 downshift 
ka-chung is gone also.  Basically it behaves like a normal modern auto 
Transmission  car now.  No more driving around town in S to avoid the nasty 
downshift around corners! Smooth operator. 

now if I can only find the whole car vibration at 75 MPH,  must be a bent wheel 
as I have had four or five sets of new tires on it over the years and now have 
replaced flex disks and the driveshaft bearing hangar and rebuilt the tranny 
and it still vibrates.  Or a bent driveshaft I guess. Half shafts seem OK.  
Might be time to spring for the 15 Bundt cake wheels.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

Did you check the center joint in the driveshaft?  Tends to sound like  
a bad muffler with extra vibration, most obvious at the console where  
the carrier bearing is.  Very obnoxious, but usually shakes all the  
time, not just at 75 mph.


I would have a good tire shop check for a bent wheel, they should be  
able to see it while balancing.

Put the spare on the ground and move it around to see if anything 
changes.  I doubt your problem is a wheel.  What you describe sounds 
like an out of phase driveshaft.  no known cure other than to send it 
to the rebuilder in GA (but there is probably one in the LA area) or 
to take it out and put it back together in the next spline (up to 33 
times) until you  get it in the right spline.   Jim Cathey built a 
lathe to find the sweet spot in his driveshaft, but most of us don't 
have space and an adequate junk pile to salvage the needed parts from 
to do that.


Another option is to buy a junkyard driveshaft and try it until you 
get a good one.  (I used this option)  I lucked out the first time.


The moral of the story is to never let anyone buy yourself to touch 
the driveshaft.  In my case, some monkeys took it out without my 
permission.  They of course decided to slide the splines apart.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[kdwittne...@yahoo.com]

with lots of good tire shops changing tires and balancing rotating over the 
years,  nobody ever said a wheel was out of true. so unlikely I concede. 

so maybe that joint.  feels like it is under the console or seat. Seems like 
maybe 120hz at 75mph. vibration,  not much sound.  stops again above 80.

I have driven it that way since 2001. nobody can figure it out,  but most 
mechanics never test drive at that speed.

with lots of good tire shops changing tires and balancing rotating over the 
years,  nobody ever said a wheel was out of true. so unlikely I concede. 

so maybe that joint.  feels like it is under the console or seat. Seems like 
maybe 120hz at 75mph. vibration,  not much sound.  stops again above 80.

I have driven it that way since 2001. nobody can figure it out,  but most 
mechanics never test drive at that speed.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Scott Ritchey]

Just a thought.  I had a Mercury Sable with similar symptoms.  It turned out
to be a bad shock absorber.  That shock worked fine for large motions but it
allowed a small amplitude undamped oscillation, probably excited by a small
tire imbalance when the wheel speed matched the suspension resonant
frequency.  This continued over several sets of tires until I changed the
shock.

 now if I can only find the whole car vibration at 75 MPH,  must be a bent
 wheel as I have had four or five sets of new tires on it over the years
 and now have replaced flex disks and the driveshaft bearing hangar and
 rebuilt the tranny and it still vibrates.  Or a bent driveshaft I guess.
 Half shafts seem OK.  Might be time to spring for the 15 Bundt cake
 wheels.

Anyone ever use this shop in Hackensack, NJ?

I've been told they do good work (despite their unimpressive website) and
they quoted me $1450 for a rebuilt trans for a '91 350SDL I was looking at
a few months ago (and didn't buy).  They specialize in Mercedes and have
been at it since the 70s.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[kdwittne...@yahoo.com]

FYI Sun Valley must be a volume operation.  the rebuilt transmission and torque 
converter are on their way back to my car.  I asked if it was the same 
transmission and torque converter and he said yes,  they open the torque 
converter,  check the bearing,  adjust tolerances and put (weld?) it back 
together,  then bolt the same one up to the same transmission. this seems like 
less than 24 hour turnaround.

Ditto Sun Valley - I bought one for my 91 300D through Rusty - works 
great.  I think the AT was around $1400 plus core and I paid a Trans

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Dieselhead]

Ok so I am on a quixotic quest to eliminate oil leaks from my 1985 
wagon.  The insurance from my recent fender bender guy pulling out 
in front of me left me with about 2k to spend on other items. 

The tranny leaks from the front seal.  Enrique wants 2k to pull, 
rebuild with all new seals and clutches and reinstall. 400 to fix 
the seal alone.


It has 182k on it and shifts like a dream.  What does the peanut 
gallery think about 1600 extra for a rebuild since the slush box is 
coming out anyway?


I know it ain't cheap but I drive it every day to work in Beverly 
Hills and it is lots less than a bugatti. I just don't want it 
staining up the drive at preschool,  neighbors house,  home etc.


Comments please.

Karl



All good MB Diesels mark their territory.

Before you spend a dime, check our sunvalleytransions 
http://www.mercedesdismantlers.com/


Get a price from him.  You might just want to replace the front seal 
now, and keep the rest in the bank for a SV rebuilt when needed.


For not much more than the 1600, you can set a SV rebuilt with a 
generally unneeded warranty.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Dan Penoff]

Adsit? Really?

Those guys were real schmucks.

I lived closed to them at one time, and tried to buy a used clock for my 1979 
300TD. I found an NOS clock from Randy Steele instead, and when I called them 
to confirm their price to be sure we were talking about the same part (they 
wanted far more than Randy did for his NOS clock) they got abusive and cussed 
me out.

I've heard similar stories about them from others.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Gary Hurst]

yeah, we used to buy a lot of stuff from adsit, including all the
transmissions and injection pumps.  all that stuff that would come to
you from longwood, FL was from adsit

really, the product is fine but they genuinely despise their customers
from the top down.  my understanding is that they are an absolute
misery for the retail customer to deal with.  on the wholesale end, we
never dealt with the indiana operation but would just catch that abuse
second hand from the florida operation and then we'd all laugh at the
indiana operation for being assholes

the adsit rebuilds were done in muncie, IN, which is really the heart
of the transmission building world.  they were solid and we had few
issues with them.  rusty originally used that neoconfederate guy, ron,
but they had a falling out and we used adsit for at least a decade
that i know of.

i can't say whether rusty switched over to sun valley some time after
i left or not.  it is possible.

Thanks to all who responded.  I will check out sun Valley.  From what everyone 
is saying Enrique is maybe a couple hundred high on the rebuild and about 150 
low on the r and r,  so about the going rate. 
On a technical Note,  what does sun Valley do to beef them up?  Should I have 
them put higher performance clutches in a la the dieselmenken / myna om603 pump 
stroker crowd?

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Randy Bennell]

It would require some effort no doubt. Sometimes special tools, but 
sometimes they can be home made as well.
I cannot say I know a whole lot about it but I did do a bit of study on 
the GM 700R4 at one time as I had one in my Suburban and it was 
troublesome. I had it done by a shop once and was not happy with the 
result. I therefore considered trying it myself but ended up selling the 
vehicle before I had to do it. It still worked well enough to drive it 
but it was difficult to keep it in overdrive.
In any event, there was a lot of available information for that 
transmission and I read a lot fo it. Certain upgrades etc made them 
sturdier.
I gather one of the primary concerns is the need to keep the parts very 
clean.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

I paid a local highly recommended Mercedes mechanic $2500.00 to remove, 
rebuild,  reinstall the tranny on 82 300SD. Sadly, I sold the car and the new 
owner totaled it sold it to recycler without talking to me.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Karl Wittnebel]

I talked to Mark at SV. Whoever said he seems like a good guy is correct.

Since there really aren't any problems with the transmission, he said it should 
be easier to rebuild. So he cut me a deal from the normal rebuilt/core exchange 
price of $1750. 

He will scoop it up tomorrow from my mechanic and take it back there on 
Thursday. Nice coincidence that he drives right by there every day on his 
commute.

Anyway you guys probably saved me four or five hundred dollars, so thanks very 
much.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Dieselhead]

Wow!  that is good to hear, but I am not surprised.  Congrats!  He 
has been very gracious about answering my questions.  So far, I have 
never had to buy a trans from him. yet.


My half million mile SDL junker is shifting just fine after a fluid 
and filter change.  The others are all doing ok, except the 811 240D, 
and I need to follow the steps SV has online to adjust it.  Just 
never had the time to dedicate to it, cause I am not driving it.  It 
is in reserve status.

Re: [MBZ] transmission rebuild

[Gary Hurst]

ron was insane.  you weren't allowed to look at, let alone talk to,
his employees.  he closed down for confederate memorial day.  etc

he might still even be around.  his business was simply transmissions
by ron or something similarly simple

ron was similar to the soup nazi from seinfeld, only it was no
transmission for you!  one day rusty offended ron in some way (the
exact details elude me beyond it involving rusty sharing choice words
with ron and ron banning him for life) and that was the end of that

adsit was having transmission built for him in his town of  muncie,
indiana, which was where chevrolet was building transmissions forever.
 it was a place where everyone built transmissions.  this guy donny
used to work for rusty and now worked for adsit, so we simply started
buying these adsit transmissions.  kent adsit didn't mind as long as
we didn't try to undercut him on price, or so we were told by donny.
