Re: Need New Trans for 2000 ML320

The dealer has no explanation for this other than "YOU NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION." How many models and what year range is this transmission used? The dealer wants about $3000 to do the job. Is that reasonable? We have called MBUSA and they are little if any help. The ML has been replaced and needs to be repaired so it can be sold.

Has anyone had simular experience with their ML or transmission?
You might want to try a different dealer if possible. These Mercedes service departments are not created equal. Been there done that with a couple transmission problems. Mine wanted to go into the limp home mode (2nd gear only) a couple times for no good reason. Good luck.
