You are right on the button there. From what I have seen with the MB Jeep there will be constant regular ongoing work due to the original design of the transmission brake.

Have a look at the photo showing the brake linings after I removed it, there was enough oil to service my lawnmower, no wonder the hand brake did not work. The other photo shows the new bonded brake linings before I re-installed it. At the moment the transmission brake works, but for how long will be interesting.
