Western Mass MB Mechanic??
 

I saw Mario's listed in Chicopee. Does anyone know of another MB Expert (Like Russ mentioned in this forum) in the Western Mass Area? We all don't live inside of the 495 circle :)

I have a 1985 German built 500 SEC that worked fine until the Mrs. Drove it (No Puns please). It wouldn't start after she got it home. After a quick inspection, I noticed that the Rotor was completely burned out. Changed Plugs, Wires, Rotor, and Cap... Fires up Perfectly.

However, when we took it to town, it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear. Checked the linkage adjustment behind the carb (under the air cleaner) - nothing looked changed. Checked the vacuum leak - looked OK. fluid Level is OK - Shifted Perfectly before this occurrence. Thought I messed something up - but all looks A-OK.
