Check your transmissions for leaking fluid!
Had mine up on the lift to evaluate the stock exhaust system, I leaked a lot of fluid - a lot. I'm constantly on the go and haven't checked my garage for puddles but sure enough, I lost enough tranny fluid that when cold enough my gears wouldn't even engage. I blew a seal.
Just an FYI for you all out there...

apparently very common. had this a while ago and service at MB told me off the record he thought they should recall and replace with a better o-ring.
