1998s

i need to replace my transmission for about 8m, is it worth doing (150m miles on the car)? I d like to keep the car another 5 years

antique man

yes it's worth doing.... My 1997 s320 lost a trans at 105,000 miles after the crroks at the benz dealer told me that I never needed to change the filter or fluid because it was synthetic... they wanted $5500 and I fould a local guy icould trust and he rebuilt mine with one year warranty for $1800..he recomended changing the fluid and filter every 35,000 miles. been fine for over three years.........

MB did mine with a factory rebuilt 2yr/24K warranty, about $5 with new cooler lines and trans mount. It did not need a converter, and had regular oil changes

Had a 94 S420 and had the tranny rebuilt a little after 90k miles. Worked fine afterwards till the day I sold the car. Only thing was when changing between P R N and D, there was a little bit more of a delay.

Yes. These engines are capable of 300K miles.

I've got 252K on my '95 and it's still running great. I've also got the orginal tranny.
