I see that nobody responds. Sorry but for that you need to take car to a transmission repair facility. It needs to be opened up, to evaluate. $$$ I think that one of your valves is not functioning. Regards. aam.

The handling is improved by the stiffer springs and better shocks, which eliminate body roll. The lowering thing is for looks. Which I get, and think does look good, but only to a point. You don't want to look like one of those Camino's with air suspension and neon lights either. An inch or so of lowering looks great, beyond that it gets too low for my tastes. This latest one is just too low to be practical, you're going to be...

And if you hit parking blocks alot now maybe you should get use to backing in to spots so you dont have...

Roncallo is right: if you decide to go for the M120 you would be better off selling yours and go for an SL600. As for the M137 I honestly can't see a reason why you should go r that engine and to be very honest with you I can't really see a reason why Mercedes produced that engine first thing. Actually compared with the other V12 they produced that engine seems lame. If you really want an engine from that e you might want to consider...

Winter is the best time for me to drive it Summer in the A/C'd garage is when to work on it. This is just kind of a Pandora's box. Every time I start into something it becomes a question of how deep do I want to go into the hole.

Or I can brave it out and peel back the next layer in this puzzle. My...
