Branko,

AROCA Qld Competition Secretary Ken Percival's auto transmission shop is quite close to Kuraby. If KP doesn't have time to check it for you, he will know someone close by who would be good for the job.

Try Ken on 0402 291 362.

Cheers,

Brent

Spoke to Ken, he is not in a position to help me.
Any other ideas?

Might be worth looking up any Mercedes specialists in the area, don't those have Merc mechanicals?

Also, if you are an RACV member, there may RACQ reciprocal entitlements to have the Qld mob look at it for you if you are into that sort of thing.
