Yes, I know that, but the difference in what I hoped would be getting the car within a few hours for more money and a further delay seemed a warranted tradeoff. I'm going up to chat with them tomorrow and will be taking your info. Bill R

I figured he was lower on the one part needed, but while I was on the phone with the shop I put in the part number and he doesn't have it listed. I'll ask them to check the spring and also to contact Sun Valley. On the positive side, my S420 is tooling along beautifully. Just got back from a trip to Union City, GA with it, and even with 5 in the car all seemed in comfort and a good ride. I did pick up a lightly used set of 18" Michelins that are the correct size for the car, and as soon as the baby ones that are on it wear out I'll put them on. Still prefer 16's, but I think the ride will be good with the correct tires for the rims/car.

Before you give up on the "old" trans., call Sun Valley Mercedes Dismantlers, Sun Valley, CA and describe the symptoms and attempted cures. They are the best trans diagnosticians in this hemisphere. Rusty is the best source for a rebuilt trans. They are rebuilt by Sun Valley. >Not a good day.
