    OK, I'm not sissy yet. No problems working outside in 17 F weather. Snow stopped, sprinter started :D Don't put off those transmission fluid changes. Yes mine was synthetic, but it was a dark thick sludgy mess. New control board and fluid/filter. Maybe, I'll work next...

    Rear service done, had a sticky caliper. Remembered a Sprinter source thread about loose u bolts; indeed mine were torqued but loose. Sledgehammer, torch, penetrating oil and a few hours later, the rattle is gone! Which wasted my time on the real problem; getting stuck in gear. Now racing the...
