Hi!
Hi all,

I don’t have a Mercedes (but my dad has a CLA45 and his mom has an SL65), but I am looking at a W126 300SEL with a trans issue, so I’ve come to the best place I could think of for help.

Thanks,

Carter

Hi!

Welcome to MBWorld and thank you for checking in!

I see you have placed your question in the W126 forum which is a great start. Please post a photo of your MB when you drive it home!

Bob

Welcome! Please post a photo of the MB. Caveat emptor when looking at a vehicle with a transmission problem. They are normally difficult and expensive to make right.

Welcome hopefully someone here will have an idea of the cost to repair or replace the trans.
