I have a1999 ML430 with 86,400 miles on it. Looks like the ETC went bad in the tranny and the whole transmission might have to be replaced (to the tune of about $6,000). Feels like the truck is trying to start in 3rd gear when at stop lights. Tac revs but the car just moves real slow at first. I'm thinking about selling instead...any ideas what I could get for it without the 6k tranny repair. Sad to see her go, but I'm having a hard time with a MB tranny going bad at 86k. I really liked this truck (until yesterday that is) :-(
