thanks for the tips...Okay the transmission fluid level appeared to be low...so I topped it off to the best of my ability. (transmission fluid levels seem to be very tricky to measure).... the car seems to shift fine now....but im still worried when it might conk out...can low transmission oil cause this kind of problem....? I dint feel the car acting any different before the trans disengaged completely...

im taking it to some transmission people tomorrow to check it out...any recommendation for benz transmission guys in nyc...?

also how much would a rebuild typically take?
what if i wanted to switch it to a manual while i had this 'chance'? how much and who?

any ideas?
