In this era having the right keyword is sometimes all one needs to get a successful search. | ||

JSP Member Date registered: Jan 2017 Location: Montreal Vehicle(s): Mercedes G290 Turbo Posts: 30 ![]() | RE: 711.117 transmission So I decided to go ahead with this project and I found a few 711.113 online. Likely these are all sold by members of this community ![]() My original plan was to buy the transmission and have it rebuilt in Montreal by someone I know and trust. The risk with this approach is that we may struggle to find all the parts for the rebuilt. One of the transmissions I found is sold by Vadim -- thanks for the tip Andrew -- and he is actually rebuilding it. Buying this transmission would simplify my life... Now the tricky part is that I don't know him at all, I don't even know of him. Risky to buy a transmission from someone you don't know and who is 5000 km away! So I thought I would ask for feedback here -- I understand it is tricky to ask this but I've been honest with him and explained that I wanted to know more and he understands. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks | ||
