I  had the Transmission re-build five month ago $2,200.00 it did this 
before the  re-build but now has more play


Whatever came of this below suggestion?  It makes sense to me  and matches 
my personal experience with many MBZs with automatic  transmissions

Unless this is a recent development, I wouldn't worry too much.
In my experience Benz auto transmissions have always had more travel  
before the pawl locks than with domestic US cars. My guess is the cog gear  used 
for the park mechanisim is much coarser (fewer cogs per inch of  
circumference) than on US cars.
My 86' SEC rolls just as far before it  locks.
