Where can I find 716.6XX gear ratios? - hooblah - 08-26-2013
Im trying to select a gearbox for my om606 and im looking for something that has a decent spread. I want longer gearing from 1st-3rd and a long 6th.
Anyone know where I can find the info to compare various gearboxes?

Nice one but I dont think thats right. A 220cdi and a 270cdi wont have the same ratios. If that was the case then there wouldnt be such a wide range of gearboxes available.
RIght now I have the option to get a couple of gearboxes at a very reasonable price. One is from a 220cdi and the other is from a 180 kompressor. Which one do I go for? Or do I get a totally different box?

It's almost certain that a sporty gas motor will be paired with a closer ratio gearbox than a slower revving diesel.

Hmm I guess so.
Anyone know how I go about connecting the speedo?

In a W124 a electronic speedo is used from a late V8 with a fabricated 4 tooth tone ring for the VR sensor pickup. See Druk's pics in the flex disc thread below for his tone ring idea.

In this discussion thread there is info posted about the gear ratios in a lot of different MB boxes.
