That would be nice, better than the engine for sure... I hope it is the torque converter but I have doubts about it being that as I have had two lock up before (hot rod diesel) and both times I was driving down the road, it made a real mess and it was extreamly loud when failed as metal was grinding, twisting and snapping, for me they were both violent catastrophic failures for sure and I instantly knew something very bad had just happened.

Again the most puzzling part in all this is that is was fine when I drove up and turned it off the night before, then to go out the next morning only to find something is locked up in the engine/drive-train???

* The only good used Mercedes repair shop in Beaumont, Tx won't touch it because the engine/drive-train is sitting in a Chrysler. I am exploring all other local options.
** I may be in luck I just found out that the local Chrysler dealer is also the local Mercedes dealer as well.
