I am going thru it, it is the same trans as in my 92 500 SEL, you probably did not notice the slight ticking in reverse. The trans can be rebuilt, the problem is the front clutches, the street price was in the $2,000 limited warranty. MB is twice that with a 2/24 warranty for less than $5,000 for a factory rebuilt. The labor seems to be 8hrs plus. I opted for the higher # strictly on the MB warranty wherever I am. I dont understand what the sift lever refernce was, mine clicks into place but still either hesitates or bangs into gear when you accellerate the engine over 1,000
It will get worse!
