That must include an hour for lunch, two hours for dinner, and six coffee breaks!!!

I've had real good luck with Trans-X, both in transmissions and power steering pumps.

i can pull it in 1hr (did it 3 times in a couple weeks). once tranny is out there is about 8 bolts in the bell housing then it's free. my proceedure is listed below:

1 support trans with jack/piece of wood under the pan
2 remove trans mount (makes removing flex disc easier)
3 move all 6 flex disc bolts (15 and 17mm) and carefully pry out flex disc
4 remove intermediate drive shaft
5 remove shifter linkage, vac mod line, neutral safety harness, kickdown wire
6 remove trans cooler lines (19 or 17mm) and 4 hex bolts holding the lines
7 tie lines out of the way
8 remove flywheel dust shield (2x 10mm bolts)
9 remove bellhousing flywheel lock (black plastic piece 9mm?)
10 remove tranny to engine bolts 17mm's + two 10mm hex for the starter
11 wiggle tranny back and forth until it breaks from the torque converter
12 lower tranny with jack an inch at a time and pulling away from engine at the same time

note mine does not have a bowden cable. this is for a 300d euro. attempt at your own risk

Trans-X worked wonders on a 87 300d I had. It was shifting real hard until I added trans-x .

How long does it take you to R&R a MB trans. and reseal it?

If you can beat flatrate consistently, I might want to hire you to do r&r work in my shop.
