How many miles on the transmission? Sure wish Mercedes had learned how to build a transmission from Toyota and Volvo. Have seen those autos go nearly 500,000 miles with no trouble.

Had that same thought often.

I can count on one hand easily the number of older Mercedes auto trans I've seen first hand that didn't have a weird delay going into reverse.
VS a Volvo of the RWD era, which is an aisin-warner Toyota trans, that
basically never fails other than the OD solenoid or a seal in that part maybe.

Someone should make an adaptor plate, solve all our problems lol...
