Nope no carnage, no damage, rear end and everything still works...

Apparently the transmission controle modual can be altered so that it will put the car into neutral if a pre determined amount of force is applied to the transmission. Sort of like a safety feature so nothing gets broken... another feature from mercedes to protect its self... When the V8 was installed this number was lowered a little just so I would not destroy the rear end or whatever else. My car went into neutral and there was nothing I was able to do. park, reverse, N, or drive didnt matter. Car was not moving.

All I had to do is turn off the car and start it back up and everything worked as normal again. So I called Rudy and told him what happened and he will put the magic number back up only once the wavetrac is installed...

So this means untill this wavetrac is made and installed I will be responsible and protected. Sort of

Now I am really waiting...
