Bootsy, make it safe. Get it up and very secure on jack stands. Then with a transmission jack or a small floor jack and a helper, I would say it should slide in OK. The Mercedes, at least my W123 looks plenty tight in certain areas and the tranny is pretty snug in there. But I suspect it will go in pretty much like any other transmission.
