I put one of Rusty's ATs in last summer (by local shop) and must concur
- they are awesome with great prices.
I may have mentioned this, but my local MB Dealer was willing to install
a outside vendor's rebuilt AT just like the local Indy did (but the
dealer wanted $1250 Vs $650).
When I was talking to Rusty about the AT he said he'd sold thousands
over the last ~20 years and had only 3 problems!! That's incredible! 2
of the problems were the fault of the installer and the other was
something external that could be easily repaired. All 3 problems were
minor BTW.
When I asked the rebuilder what kind of ATF to use he said Dexron III.
I was hoping to use M1 ATF but went with the rebuilder recommendation.
They also say to use 24K ATF change intervals Vs 30K that MB says to use.
Have a good weekend -

Sounds like a really ghastly case of flaring. Normally you just get a
little "vrrr" as the engine revs up a little for an instant during
upshifts---that condition can often be cured by proper modulator
adjustment, a fluid change, and running a while with synthetic ATF.
But the best cure for what you're describing, Tim, is often one of
Rusty's rebuilt trannies installed by a competent shop (or on your
own, if you have the right equipment).
