Chris, glad the car was fixed! I feel your pain, I'm facing an engine rebuild/swap problem, probably bring me to a similar amount.

Perhaps the techs can weigh in, but when I had my transmission fuild changed in my E430 (Im not buying that 'lifetime' crap), my tech also stated that I should only use the MB tranny fluid. He has no problem recommending other fluid brands for certain models/applications, but he specified for the 722.6 tranny, you use the MB fluid only. The MB fluid is expensive as well.

You may want to look into that...don't want to spend all that money and have a non-spec fluid ruin it.

Just my non-tech $0.02...good luck!
