c43 transmission replacement
My 99 c43 transmission gave up the ghost and I need to source a replacement. I've seen other members with this problem and remember seeing an aftermarket heavy duty one recommended, but can't find it now. Anyone have a better solution?

Sun Valley has been rebuilding MB transmissions forever. They ship worldwide and can be reached at 818 7688667 or 818 7680704 M-F 8 to 5 PST. Last I heard they wanted under $3K for a 722.632. The MB Classic Center in Irvine uses Transmeister in Orange CA - 714 532 1871. No idea what Transmeister would charge.

I am in the same predicament right now. I spoke with Sun Valley and they also said they could do it for a lot less than my local mechanic. The thing is my local mechanic says he would rebuild the original transmission instead of swapping it which is what Sun Valley would do. What decision did you end up making?
What do you think I should do?
Thanks
