So far,this truck never has left me walking. Tranny shops made their living off of minivan trannies. We had a Dodge.
It's too bad Mercedes sold off Chrysler's gear division New Process,renamed New Venture, and then went with their Brazilian made G-56. Part of their mismanagement. That way they could lower the unit costs of the POS G-56.The NV5600 had better ratios ,too.
I have to chuckle about the posters who question how I know how the first owner drove, they've driven too many automatics. First cold morning, there wasn't any 3rd gear synchromesh. It can be pretty frustrating to count three steamboats every shift. You're in 3rd before crossing a intersection. Any quick acceleration out of the question if you want to save the tranny.
This was our first(and the Last) the lease return. She looked pretty good. And we could almost afford her.
