Sooo, I went to my dealer, and gave them my "you pride yourself on meeting/beating prices,,,,,," speil, and they gave me the MB unit for around $35.
Caliber motors (Anheim Hills, California) is also a good reliable source of "discounted" MB parts.
Cerritos, I don't know about concept of NOT changing the filter. I have read alot of transmission problems arise from a mucked-up filter. I think I would change it! Just my .02, though. |
That's my concern too (the old get what you pay for scenario) - I checked online and even at autohaus its 60 bucks!!! Made me wonder why the eBay one is so cheap but then the dealership sold it to you for 35 (roughly same as ebay) and probably still made a profit at that. I cant see anything that would suggest its worth that much vs the ebay version. Is there any way you coul tell how long yours is? The eBay one states a length of 45 1/2".
Also how much fluid would you suggest I purchase since I wont be able to get to the TQ?
