Used Mercedes Transmissions Cheap and Fast
Question: My car started making “Revving” noises but then slowed down and would not go faster than 30 mph. I checked the transmission fluid and it was fine, is it a bigger transmission problem? My car is a 1989 Mercrcedes E300. Im pretty tight with money to get it fixed wondering if its worth fixing or if I should bring it to a junkyard.
Answer: The first thing I would recommend is to have it professionally diagnosed by your local transmission expert or the dealership. You don’t have to fix it if you don’t want to, but that is the only way one can determine what is really wrong and whether it is worth it to them to fix it.
Obviously you can’t call a doctor and ask him to diagnose a medical problem over the phone. He needs to examine you, even if your description of the problem you are having is excellent. A transmission is a highly complex item and it can’t be diagnosed on the internet or telephone with any accuracy.
Without knowing what funding you have for the aforementioned car, it is hard to advise one to junk a car or not. With that in mind, the car would have to in pretty bad shape not to consider a used transmission as opposed to a knee jerk reaction of trading it or junking it. From the sound of it, you don’t have a lot of money, so you would more than likely buy another used car. Whats to say that car does not have it’s hidden issues?
Look, a Mercedes is not a cheap car, nor is it generally inexpensive to repair. Get a diagnosis, if the transmission seems to have failed, (and BTW, your symptoms are not favorable), but that’s why we diagnose them, then a used transmission is a cost effective solution to getting back on the road. just make sure a professional installs it.
