Yep, I'm in N. Alabama.
I've lost two Mercedes transmissions and although I agree that Rusty
carries
quality
I'll note if you have a early W140 transmission (pre 95? non-
electronic) then if you ask mercedes for a rebuilt one, you will find
out they don't have
any in stock, thus require your core to rebuild it at their approved
rebuild centre, helpfully located elsewhere in the country.

Rusty - I was not aware of that. I'll take the transmission and the AC
compressor. I'll hit your website tonight and do the order.
Thanks - BillR

Actually, my rebuilder pays the freight and 8 hours labor on his

Final checks are being done at the moment by my mechanic, but initial
indications are that my transmission may be shot. It has been giving some
problems for a few months, most notably on my recent trip to VA it quit
shifting into 4th, then wouldn't go into 3rd. Checked all vacuum connections
To my mind the question would hinge on how long you wish to keep the car
for. if i figured i were spending the rest of my life with the car, i'd go
with rebuilt. otherwise, i'd either scrap the car or look for a used one.

Rusty sells them too. I think they cost around $1700... could then get
your indy to install it (if his rebuild option is too
