I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with you. In the first place I don't believe all internal guts in '93 and '98 tranny are identical. Secondly the vibration is stil there when the car is "rolling" with tranny in neutral... No way.. It can't be.... On the other hand similar problems would be posted long time ago. MB tranny go bad @ 20-40K? Sure it happens but not generally... They last forever.
