Thanks BoiseBenz, loepke72 and this forum.

Car is back on the road. Valve body plunger attached OK. No more leak from behind the NSS switch. One of the toughest job I have tackled as I could have butchered up the tranny.

Next job, B2 cover seal and tranny mount. Scheduled out for next 6 months. Isn't driving old MBZ a lot of fun?
