i would love to be able to take it to a mbenz mechanic, but the fact of the matter is this local guy is my parents friend and will most likely pop it up on a lift for free. I'm a broke 17 year old working 40 hours a week at 6 bucks an hour to try to get the car to how i want it before school starts, so whatever can wait is going to. i'm going to fix the alternator shortly so it operates at full power, and then look at a couple of vacuum valves, if that doesn't fix my rough shifting from N to drive i'm just going to leave it alone. I need to have a better sound system in that thing then 4 four inchers by the time school starts. once again thanks for the help.
