04-04-2010, 09:24 PM #1Anyone have any documentation of the 00-02 c230 6 speed going into a w124 om603. Im interested in trying this however i cant seem to figure out what model tranny. 716.633? 716.668? 716.622? which is the toughest.
(04-11-2010, 12:57 PM)Kozuka They are all rated for ~200ftlb.
Good enough for a stock engine.

11-26-2010, 10:33 PM #6I found a 716.668 6spd? locally out of an 02 C230 locally for a really good price! I really want to swap it in to my 300sdl my question dose any one know what the length of the transmission + linkage is I'm curious if I would also have to shorten or lengthen it for a w126 300sdl not a big deal but i want to get an idea so I can take some measurement when I go look at it would the flywheel from that car work for my application?

Personally i woild not opt for the 6 speed option. To my kniwledge it seems like it woukd be a weak tranny. I could always be wrong. The best option for price try to find a w201 190 16v getreg tranny. Can hold up to 400nm proven and in some cases higher but the seals start giving up. And for the price i could bet you can pick them up for the same price if not cheaper then the 6speed.

11-30-2010, 03:35 PM #9I was curious how long the 6spd trans and and shifter are all together? I want to use this a 6spd in my 300sdl because the shifter linkage looks to be a better design than the 5 spds! My car is a stock 300sdl om603 so power is not a problem!

I prefer the 5 speed linkeage, easily adept poly bushings to the shifter yoke, and the actual linkeage arms. Can be easily cut and shortened the linkeage arms and Shift levers to recieve a short throw.

12-01-2010, 01:35 PM #10Its a very nice shifting tranny. 5-6 gear are very close to each other. 2-3 gears have to be the most enjoyment with the m111 super motor. Gobbles of torque for a baby motor in those gears.

My 603, I have a 84 5 speed w201 8vlv tranny mounted and worked completely fine with the w201 8vlv flywheel and clutch. We will see how the clutch will hold up to the added TQ, and once I start turning the pump up.

I believe it's only the 01-03 transmissions that will bolt up to the m10X/m111/om60X it has to be the one that used the four cylinder supercharged in the small w203 body.

I'm curious if the 01-03 c230 flywheel/clutch will bolts up to the om603 or if it can be made to fit it!
My only concern is that I have read that transmission dose not have a speed sensor
So I will have to make some thing that reads off the drive shaft.
But that should be no issue since I will probably have to have that that made any ways

There are two different part numbers for the 02 c230 manual! I think the difference is gear ratios
203 Type, M.T., C230 (Cpe), type 716.633 or 663
203 Type, M.T., C230 (Cpe), type 716.668
dose any one know for sure what the difference is?
this will be going in my 300sdl if all looks good
They will sell me the Transmission, Shifter, Shift knob and boot, Drive shaft for $900

So the plan is a 300sdl (w126, I'm guessing?) with an om603 turbo mated to a 6-speed from a c230? That is a very interesting plan. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out, especially your solutions for flywheel, shifter positioning, and speedo reading. I see those as your biggest challenges from off the top of my head.

The gearbox is from m.y. 2000 220cdi (which has also had 716.62x and 716.63x, those rated for 270Nm). All these 4-5 cyl cdi boxes bolt straight on to older MB engines (OM60x, gassers). The V6 has completely different clutch/turbine housing.
716.6 and 722.3. The manual is shorter --> cardan had to be lengthened 40mm (taking in account the manual has thicker guibo).
Modified gear-change mechanism to fit properly into my car. These were from a 4 cyl cdi. The welder said the "carrier" was nasty kind of aluminum, took him many hours to do properly.
Custom flywheel to replace the dual mass and to fit the clutch (BMW M5 Sachs Race Engineering pressure plate and 220cdi disc, 240mm). The flywheel was less than a half of the price of a new dual mass.
Bolted to OM601 to test the clutch disengages and how is the pedal feel. As it has the new style slave cylinder, the pedal feel is ok for a daily driver, unlike a normal setup with this pressure plate.
The gearbox does make some rattling noise with warm oil below 1200rpms, practically only when in neutral (clutch not depressed) and warm engine. The problem is not nearly as bad as with those who use old W124/W201 gearboxes and single mass fw
If MB only had made powerful diesel sixes with manual, there would be a good bolt-on dual mass setup.
Don't know if these are informative but all I have.

1985 300td euro 5spd wagon running
1. 6 speed manual transmission trans from an 02 C230
2. stock flywheel and clutch also from 02 C230 for now! It should be ok with stock power for now!
3. I'm getting the stock C230 drive shaft for customization! maybe a hybrid setup if it's even close in length? If not bolder driveline can probably help make something!
4. peddle set out of one of my parts w123 I have read it will work with minor modifications? I don't know what I will have to do

unfortunately with buying a house this project has been on hold. But I did pick up an OM606.962 that I'm going to through in to the mix. also I found a factory w126 manual pedal set. and got a flywheel and clutch kit for a sprinter 2.2CDI with solid mass flywheel that should bolt right in so hopefully it will be a 1987 300sdl w126 with om606 and a manual 6spd

01-17-2014, 10:29 AM #40c230 is 4 cylinder inline supercharged the SLK 230 is the same 01-03 I think. It has to be from an inline engine the v6 have a different bell housing.

If its not inline its out of line
Thumbs up! I hear you on the house buying. Im in the market myself, while researching how to build a +400hp om606 to keep my sanity. Its so agravating to find the right house.

(11-30-2010, 10:43 AM)George3soccer I own a w203 6 speed. So if any of you guys need length specifications throw me some questions.
Personally i woild not opt for the 6 speed option. To my kniwledge it seems like it woukd be a weak tranny. I could always be wrong. The best option for price try to find a w201 190 16v getreg tranny. Can hold up to 400nm proven and in some cases higher but the seals start giving up. And for the price i could bet you can pick them up for the same price if not cheaper then the 6speed.

01-18-2014, 09:01 PM #44I own one also and love the damn thing. I bought it off of a customer after the vacuum pump locked and threw the cams through the valve cover. I freshened it up and here we are at 252k miles! the tranny has issues with going into gear but the repair is hardly worth the r/r time. This engine and trans has a bad rap but I think once all the usual crap is handled. Oh, and I do treat it like absolute shit and it takes it... as far as trans durability, etc

anyone know if the total rpm gets lower on the 6 speed , or is it the same as a 5 speed but has one more gear?
