Depends where you live. There is a good rebuilder in new jersey as well I believe.

I had good results with Sun Valley. Just ask them how much the shipping will be. SVMBZ@aol.com. Steve

Since you live in PA you might want to try locating the new jersey rebuilder. I really suspect they are good with a factory type operation. They may or may not only do mercedes transmissions but talking to an east coast mercedes dealer might turn up their contact information. I think they are that good. There also was some mention of them in the archives I believe.

Best? Mercedes direct, I have no idea how much one would cost; give the local dealer a call.

I have heard a lot of good things from Sun Valley, but I think when I do mine I'll try to find a local place.

Does anybody know the address or phone number of the NJ Transmission shop. I used to deal with one called Clark Transmission in Clark NJ but they moved and I lost track of them.

data point.. About a year ago I was told ~$4000 to swap for a factory rebuild by the service guy at a local dealership. Good warranty coverage though.

Spoke to Ted at Tramsmeister, and he will not ship a trans out of CA due to his 2 year warranty. Needs to be able to provide service.

But I told him my problem and he told me right where to go in the valve body to fix it, so for nothing else I would recommend him to anyone in CA

Thanks
