I had to shorten a shaft after putting a 4-sp in. It cost me under $200 (wholesale possibly), similar price on a similar job on a Grand Wagoneer years ago. Check your Mercedes specialists; a few guys I checked with first said they would not touch it, or said it could not be done. I found out who the dealers used.
The place I used did limos and trucks. Good job; no issues afterwards.
I would keep looking. Find someone who sounds totally confident.
