Well, you got your information from a bunch that took you for $1500 - there is your problem.

100/80 is, as usual, right. Our sticky key fix is the answer and it has nothin to do with tumblers; the surgery prescribed takes about 90 minutes max and any local shop or shadetree mechanic can do the fix with only a handful of tools. And this has to be true, because I did it myself, in my garage, with no help except for the printed PDF from this site.

If I can do it, any local shop with a guy who can read and follow directions should be just fine. This is ONE time I don't think an MB garage is needed.
