valve body cost
well, i had my low revving tranny checked out by my local MB indy. as expected, the diagnosis was the valve body, but no specifics. am i right to assume that it would cost more or about the same to replace the valve body than to make adjustments to it? i can imagine the procedure if it were to be fixed, open up the tranny, adjust, refill, road test repeat as required. i was quoted 2hrs and about $450 for a rebuilt valve body from MB - is that a fair price?

List price on 140-270-78-07-88 is $432. Would also need filter kit & 6.5qts of fluid to do job. Warranty time is 1.8 hrs w/o any adjustments!
WHAT is OR isn't the trans doing correctly??

Here's my original description of the problem:
What controls Full Throttle/Kickdown on M104? What does "Warranty time is 1.8 hrs w/o any adjustments" mean? The MB tech has a very good rep in this area. I saw, or rather felt, what was done though. They backed off the bowden cable to the point that it was holding gear to about 3.2k rpm in 3rd at part throttle. I had told them I had already done all that and that the problem was not part throttle. Thing was, they left it in that position and I had to screw it back in to make the part throttle shifts normal. At least they figured that external adjustments were not going to fix it.
