Thanks for the tip, next time I drive to town I will take a look at the dipstick. The tranny fluid is a pinkish colour with no burnt smell to it. I enjoy maintenance because you learn about the car and keep it in top shape for dependability. My 1994 diesel 6.5 GMC truck has WAY more issues and problems than my 1981 Benz. I wish Mercedes-Benz made a truck!
