[diesel_mercedes] 4th gear not applying pressure to K1 clutch pack - 1982 300d

 

Need to decide whether to abandon the original transmission to my 82 300D and go to a junk yard salvage one.

My Mercedes mechanic has given up.
He put the transmission together 2 or 3 times.
Tried every trick he new from his years at the dealership.
I have about 500,000 miles on this car and have owned it for 20 years.

Questions:
Do Mercedes transmissions just die like this?
Should I see if someone else wants to give it a try or abandon it?
My biggest question is - how sorry would I be if I plan on keeping the car another 20 years if I abandoned the old transmission and went to the best junk yard transmission I could find.
