Hi Everyone,
It has been a while since I posted/visited here. Have been driving 99 E300 with 295K miles (bought a few months ago) and the other day trans made noise coming from near the glove box and then no gears - it quit before I got onto a highway and so had it towed home. Other than that it runs really nice and has a greasecar kit which I haven't used much.

So I am reading that it has the 722.608 trans, the famous "sealed for life" one. I also found youtube video series on this trans that recomend changing the electrical control panel and the valve body that it sits on. Not being very mechanically skilled as most of you, I am not sure what to do. I would hate to lose the car and I want to have it fixed but not really get robbed. Just had a new radiator installed as stuff on the road hit the fan literally and broke the fan blade which hit the radiator and punched a hole. Then the battery died and it was something to install it as I had to find it first. Anyways wondering if any folks in the DC area who can help. Would like to hear any suggestions and how I can go about it. Thanks in advance
