I dont think I am a carrying an extra trans, because I dont have one.
(sooo, if you had one you would take it along? )


Yeah, I agree, the stupid slushbox is the real wild card- the joker. Only other nightmare scenario would be to have the oil cooler lines pop unnoticed and lock up your engine.

I almost opted to take the 240D stick on the long trip, but the W116 was sooo much nicer. Since I had just semi- rebuilt the tranny on the W116 I gambled.

A non-op auto tranny in the middle of Nebraska ? What would that cost when you add up all the motels and bus rides to get home?
