Frenchy,

Welcome to the forum. What Mercedes do you drive? Are there any manual transmission rebuilders in your area that might be able to ship Mercedes 123 Series 5 speed transmission to the USA?

In 1962 I lived on a yatch in Pairs for a year, just under Pont d'Alma. Never had more fun in my life. The yatch owner had a private nightclub on the Bateuax Mouches. Bridget Bardo, Peter O'tool, Jacques Tati, Marcell Marceaux, Noel Coward all came by the boat. Very busy in those days juggling the patron's mistresses.

Welcome,
Ben
