Thanks Sir! Yes, it is a '97. The trans does some wierd stuff - one day it works fine, the next it downshifts hard. I was told by a MB tech that a software update and/or checking out the speed (shift?) sensor plate should do the trick. I just don't know what to ask for when I take it in. Thanks for your reply!
