HELP! I need a transmission for my 99 ML430

Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone knows where to buy a rebuilt or used transmission for my 1999 ML430 preferably in the L.A./SFV area. My tranny just went dead yesterday and I need to have it replaced. The cheaper the better. Thanks.

Could I use a 1999 ML320 transmission for my ML430? Any difference or issues? Thanks

You will learn the hard way that cheaper is not better. How many times do you want to do the trans replacement??

I just crunched my transmission also. Any recomendations on a good rebuilder would be appreciated. When I find one, I'll let you guys know.

Do guys know what caused your transmissions to fail? Have you ever changed fluids?

tirkes, the point of this tread is not to examine what we could have done. It's obviously a little late to have hind-sight.
