[R129 SL] automatic gearbox update

[on a need to know basis]

It should last...it better last. I have put it to the floor a few times. 
Then I think to myself..."That was stupid". But it doesn't leak a drop.
My 1992 sl had just turned 100,000. So I would think milage contributes
to the problem.

I just kept the fluid level up till it was repaired in a day or two and 
reduced my driving distances.
