| Transmission problems
Gentlemen, I have a 2000 W163 with 91000 miles. The transmission is completly slipping in all gears when it warms up. When I first get in the car it starts up and shifts just fine. There are no noises, grinding, nothing. After a few minutes of driving it starts slipping again. I brought it into the dealership and they initially stated I needed a new Valve body, after the dealership installed the new Valve body the problem did not go away. Now they state I need a complete rebuild. Any thoughts on this? Could there be something else going on? I want to explore all my options and get as many opinions on this as I can. My dealership wants $5500.00 for a new rebuild. This is a lot of money for me and I just want to make sure there is nothing else that could be wrong that is making my Trans act the way it is. Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Dan |
