Thanks Norm. I already had that link from before and it is a good one.

Today's update:
I went to 3 Mercedes dealers and spoke with their top mechanics and 2 of them said that I will need the B2 band and 1 said it is the B2 Piston. This is without looking at the car just by my description of the problem I am experiencing. The B2 band requires the removal of the transmission and taking it apart (6 hours to remove and reinstall). Replacing the B2 Piston according to the 3 people I spoke with can be performed while the transmission is still on the car (2 hours). So I ordered the following parts today:

107 270 04 32 ___B2 Piston $163.50
005 997 70 48 ___B2 Piston Seal Ring (to the cover) $5.20
126 277 08 50 ___Plastic Bushing for Updated B2 Piston $5.63
006 997 73 47 ___Seal that holds in the bushing $5.15
126 270 44 77 ___K1 Spring Kit $15.22
126 277 25 55 ___Seal - Not sure if I will need this one PART # CHANGE – 140 277 03 55 $8.00
126 271 11 80 ___Transmission Oil Pan Gasket $13.78
126 277 02 95 ___Transmission Filter Kit $33.30


According to the link below:
http://transmission.articles.mbz.org/b2/

It is recommended to buy 3 New Front Crossmember Bolts. Will someone please call Rusty at 1-800-741-5252 and ask him what the part numbers are. The car is a 1989 300ce. That telephone number doesn't work for me.

Thank You
