That 90.5% positive feedback looks okay at first, look a bit closer. The majority if it is from like 3 sellers, with one of them giving him the same comment and high rating the majority of the time. This guy looks like he has a real scam running.

On an even closer look, you can see where TWO DIFFERENT BUYERS left the EXACT SAME UNTELLIGIBLE MESSAGE ("recieved with thanks , hope you leave me one too.") on TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT ITEMS.

I don't have time to look in more detail than that, but I think this guy shouldn't be on eBay at all. That's just wrong.

Yes, I have all gear driven transmissions....But that's ancient technology, compared to the advanced, and very special 1989 190D's belt driven transmission....

By reading the nearly-incomprehensible test of the first listing, I would think that he means a band. How the drone at Wal*Mart knew it was a band rather than a clutch pack is beyond me.

When he first starts the car up he hears it squeek

The car also apparently has no front interior. That's a joke regardless.

I mean, my back sacks act up every now and again, too. But I'm committed to driving my Benz till it never move again.
Isn't it true of all cars, that they can be driven until they will never move again? Could be another 100 miles, given the shape of the tranny belts....
