Quality control from some suppliers is basically doo-doo.
You can definitely get OEM from the Mercedes Classic Center.
But also, you can trust a large supply house that has been in business a while.
That depends on where you live and who you can call.

Once you have the parts in hand, you're going to want to visually inspect them and you're going to want to measure thickness of the various plates. Pay careful attention to instructions about how thick the clutch packs should be. Also, pay attention to what constitutes wear and damage to the specific hard parts you are going to be reusing.

As somebody else said, pay careful attention to where things where and have notes about where to put things back, as your own notes will be the only reliable source of information about what you are doing.

Worse case, you'll be doing it all over again with a fresh set of seals. But I doubt you'll to do it more than twice unless you are exceedingly unlucky.

Please share progress with us and when you run into a speed bump, somebody who's been following along may well be able to lend you a hand.

Good luck and remember, the worse that can happen is that it goes wrong. So don't let that stop you from proceeding.
