I installed a new trans in my 115/300d by myself, in about 4 hrs on a gravel driveway using a floor jack. It was not fun. I could have spent those hours slamming my fingers in the door and had a better time, but it only cost me about $1,200 for the tranny and it was done before noon. Plus I didn't have to return the core. If you can about the trans. bargin with them. As I remember I got a discount price plus free shipping.

I didn't install a new convertor cause the ond one only had about 94k on it. I may have gotten the trans. from Mercedes dismantlers at 1-818-768-0704 or svmbz@aol.com but don't remember.
