Thanks for the opinion Mark! I am thinking the same thing too, why pay 850 or i can get a rebuilt for $2000 in N. CA... but do u think those atf sealer works with benz?

And i have a question for goldenbear, i am willing to pay $350 but i am not sure if i have the exact same problem as you did. Did u remember if your local mechanic needed to bring the whole tranny down in order to replace the seals? i am living in oakland so i don't think i can drive such a long way to sac...

thanks you again and looks forward to hearing from you two!

PS my 560sel is a 89 and has 116k miles on it
