We don’t just repair classic Mercedes-Benz gearboxes. We rebuild and remanufacture them properly, in-house.
Over the years we have built one of the largest collections of fully refurbished classic Mercedes-Benz automatic gearboxes anywhere, including rare and unusual variants. Some are rebuilt to order, some are rebuilt for stock, but all are restored carefully back to original factory specification by our in-house gearbox specialists. Every gearbox begins with a full strip and detailed assessment. Each component is cleaned, inspected and measured against original factory tolerances. Any worn components are replaced or remanufactured, operating clearances are reset to Mercedes-Benz specifications, and every unit is rebuilt using genuine seals, gaskets and service parts.
This is meticulous work that requires patience, experience and deep understanding of how these transmissions were originally engineered. Many of our gearbox specialists began their apprenticeships when these units were still in production at Mercedes-Benz, making them some of the few remaining people with original training and experience on these transmissions.
All mechanical machines have a lifespan and require maintenance, yet gearboxes are often overlooked when maintaining classic cars. Engines are serviced regularly, but gearboxes are frequently left untouched for decades. When rebuilt correctly, however, they completely transform how a classic SL drives, smoother changes, quieter operation and the relaxed driving experience these cars were designed to deliver.
Our mission has always been to ensure we can support every classic Mercedes-Benz SL on the road, which is why we continue to rebuild, remanufacture and stock these gearboxes for customers all over the world.
Because these cars deserve to drive as well as they look.
