This looks great, can you post some tips on how to do it for us?

WOW that was a tremendous amount of work! It turned out very well and you should be proud of the great work you did on that project!
I always wondered what you Canadians do while you're snowed in for the winter . . .

I did the conductor plate job today, wasn't as bad as I originally thought it would be. It looked like the cause for the P0715 I was getting was an accumulation of fine steel particles around the speed sensor. I'm wondering if this was "insulating" the sensor from producing an accurate reading while running. In any case the car shifts better than new!

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Tried to change the transmission pilot bushing as preventive maintenance. But I broke my T27 bit attempting to get the heat shield off. I tried my T27 key wrench first but to no avail, so I moved up to my 1750 in/lb impact driver. It wouldn't budge and eventually the driver disintegrated the bit. Since it wasn't leaking anyway, I decided to leave it alone and hand wash it instead LOL.
It didn't have the MB recommended 'green dot' for post TSB, and it only had 5K miles when I bought it = I doubt it was ever upgraded. So, I expect it will leak sometime in the future.

What does that mean? My car also had only 5K miles when I bought it.

The Mercedes TSB required the dealer to put a green dot on the connector after it was replaced so that future techs could easily tell if it was the original or upgraded. I'm not sure if ChryCo followed the same suggestion or not.
Since mine was a garage queen with so few miles, I suspect that it was not ever changed out.

Eh??? yeah I can't see it either...
