722.6 Possibilities? - 300SD81 - 11-09-2009
Came across this today..
http://www.mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w124/277206-722-6-5-speed-conversion.html
Someone swapped a 722.6 into a 300CE. Any possibilities on bolting one to a 617? He mentions that it should fit a 603 or 606... Will it stand up to a turned up engine?
Looks like its controlled by a bunch of solenoids, so even without the $1000 controller, it might be possible to turn it into a "manual automatic".

The most difficult part would be shift transitions. With a simple manual shifter the shifts would slam between gears like a 300D with a broken vacuum hose. Don't forget about controlling the lockup torque converter as well.
