Good Sources for Re-man Trans ?
Hi all,
I have a '95 E320 w about 83K miles and last week the transmission 'went', no reverse or 4th/overdrive. Later this week my local (good) MB shop will have a look, but the trans has to come out, probable rebuild. I don't yet know if a shipped reman will be cheaper, a used one makes me a little nervous as you don't know for sure what you get. I trust the guys at my shop but don't expect it to be cheap I was referred to Sun Valley in California by someone on this site (sorry - forgot name-thanks) and found Mercedeswerks.com on e-bay. If I go this route preference is in the west to reduce shipping costs. Thanks for any help offered.

I bought one for my ML from phoenixhardparts.com. They sold me the correct 722.6 with converter for around 2200 delivered with 4 year warrantee. The planetary went to hell, so that cost me an extra 750.
The I totalled the truck.

Do you have an indie with access to the MB Canada Rebuilding Center? My tech charges $3000 installed for a 722.6, and that is for a rebuilt unit from MB. He says they have the best warranty/build for a reman trans.
Typically, new MB transmissions are fairly pricey and the "factory" (not done at the factory per se) rebuilt ones are 99% as good and 1/2 to 2/3 the price. If you have no luck locally, you could call my tech and ask him about buying a unit and having shipped to BC. I have no idea of what the four speed boxes cost, or shipping, or core, etc. PM me for his number if you like...

My first rebuild from Sun Valley didn't shift quite right, they were great to deal with and shipped me another with no questions asked free of charge. I did all the work myself so all it cost me was time to do the swap again (8pm -3am solo on a work night). The 2nd one has been absolutly great. I would still recommend them.

German transmission shop
Hello,
I can recommned Peter Schmid in Burlingame California. http://www.peterschmid.com They will fix your old one or do a swap, two year no mileage warranty! I have been to the location myself and had my 1989/300ce done there. Same problem as yours, very common. Brian calif
