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.

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. On 9/14/07, billr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Final checks are being done
