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.
