Older 500SEL Transmission Needed

I have a 1985 SEL 500 and my daughter drove the car with no Transmission fluid. The Transmission is shot. Does anyone know if I have to get a transmission from that model series (1985 SEL 500) or are there other transmissions that will work just as well.

Also, how difficult is it to switch out transmissions ?
Thanks in Advance

Re: Older 500SEL Transmission Needed

Have you checked with the Mercedes Dealer? You would be suprised how cheap the 722.3 factory rebuilt transmissions sell for. Most of them are around 1500.00 with a 2 year/24k mile warranty. Now these are not "new" products, they are completely rebuilt by MB, but they carry the same warranty as a new unit.(never had any problems out of them either)
