phils got it right on the money.. my benz shifts hard and thats got 192k on stock trans. the guts are different then most other automatics you would find. also like hes sayin they dont start in 1st but if they do 1st 2nd shift willll be hard and my car normally shifts 2nd 3rd pretty hard into 4th isnt to bad. as far as things to look out for on the 190e. blown headgaskets are very common, i didnt read your whole post so that may have been changed already. if not dont think your to much in the clear with the amount of miles and the age of the car.
ps. like what was said before.. the control arm bushings do go bad in the rear.. replace if you feel wiggling.. my cars went out.. anyways dont let this steer you away from the car. they are rather inexpensive i think i paid about 25 bucks per arm. this was stamped steel arm with bushings and also bolts.
