Is this by any chance worthwhile to buy a tran on ebay with a 90 day warranty and put it in your self?
If saw this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-300D-Transmission-126-Type-AUTOMATIC-AT-300SD-81-85-/310723212483.
Don't know if it is right but maybe something for the same price?

Yes, it was more (much more) than the B2. But, I thought about the transmission from the "rust bucket" laying there in Mikes Auto shop for 6 months, until he got tired of seeing it and scrapped it out. I should have put it in my trunk until I needed it six years later.

But I bought my wifes car (Martha) for $1800 - and that was for the whole car. It was more than a B2 piston replacement. Comments appreciated. brian

Interesting, before I went to Pasadena, I spent 1/2 hour with (Kenny) Duane Rogers who told me that he started out doing transmissions - small world sometimes. brian

Tomorrow I will go through the simple stuff like "is there ATF in the case" and "has any linkage fallen apart" But, just in case it is more serious - Nate are you still friendly with the Pasadena Tranny man? And, what is his contact info? And Rob, didn't you have someone in the O/C - or was that for A/C issues?
