560SL Transmission Rebuild 722.313

They say that they use OEM parts, so probably Elring etc.

Here is a close-up picture of the label on the kit.

There are two Distributors in Germany:TTC HERRMANN GmbH www.tcc-herrmann.de Tanja HerrmannThis email address is being protected from spambots.

Right, today I got this information also after I asked SMS for distributors in Germany.
The mail came from Detlef Herrmann, "also known as Herrmann the German" from a company with the name "Precision European Inc." (PEIUS).
How all the Herrmanns and the companies are connected and where the parts are produced, is still a bit mystic.

Cheers,

Building up my stockpile of parts for the rebuild.  Received the drum brakes.   Purchased from local dealer I deal with, the revised B2 servo piston and drum clearance tool/bar. There was only 1 bar/tool left in Germany.  Will take two weeks to arrive here.  The tool could not be found in the States, except for one dealer that when my local dealer called them, they said they don't want to sell the tool.........126-589-04-31-00.  Will probably start on this rebuild in a couple of months.  I want to enjoy the car for a few months after the rear axle rebuild.  Have 50 miles on the car since the rebuild, all drives very smooth.
