They dont rebuild transmissions, so a MB factory rebuilt $3,200, 2 year 24K mile warranty, it did not need a converter.
btw, that trans is a handfull if you dont have the proper tools to help you

wow they left a 100,000 mile convertor in it ( having said that i have yet to see a MB convertor fail but we have them gone over when we do a complete for that kind of money -- and high miles
reason they only do a core swap is the seals are not serviceable according to them MB - and no matter what some think the dealers do not want high end techs they cost too much to keep on hand --
and you are correct its not for a novis but if 3 thousand is out of the question than they do sell a book and their is info on doing it - jz
