Need a transmission for a 1991 190E 2.3
Can anyone recommend a reputable place; the closer to Atlanta the better but any where is considered.
Emily took the car to Gatlinburg (about 6 hours) and it did fine, they turned it off and checked into the hotel when they came back down to go to Pigeon Forge and it would not shift out of first gear. We had it towed to M-B of Knoxville hoping it was something somewhat minor. They called and said it needed a transmission for 4400.00.
Went and collected it. Modulator checks out (holds vacuum) and the fluid level is full. First and reverse engage and pull fine, wont shift.
Receipt from dealer says "Needs Transmission, no governor pressure, only 3.0 bar line pressure." The fluid isn't burned and there are no abnormal noises from the transmission.
My 125.00 factory Mercedes repair disc has no auto transmission repair information in it. Any one know if you can get parts for it? I'm temped to tear it down myself and see if it just has a stuck valve or something. If it was a C6/4 I'd already have it scattered about the garage.
TIA
