The last MB manual we had apart was out of a 1961 300SL roadster. That was when we heard that MB was no longer offering rebuilt transmissions for the 300SLs because the cost of retooling to make the internal parts was too high without enough demand from people for rebuilt units. Ok, whatever. They finally began rebuilding 300SL trannies and sold them for a whopping $16,000 on a basis that the core must be able to be rebuilt or else forget it.
