You can do anything to that car. You can't find a better one to do what you did to it if this is your first time. Understand too that MB's from your car through about 1985 models is pretty much the same procedure. I think it is easier to pull the engine/tranny all together than replacing the tranny on my back. I get pretty sore anymore working up underneath them nowadays. I mentioned maybe building a shop and the wife said I was not going to be here long enough to be able to enjoy it
jk.
