Trans identity and help please
Im a new member and i have tried to find answers but i just cant. ok. so i started off buying a om615 that had a four speed attached. i built a divorced np231 and put it in a jeep! turns out the little naturally asperated mill wasnt quite enough for me but i was so super impressed by these motors that i searched out a om617 and put that in front of the existing drivetrain. I love it. Im proud of it and hand out pictures of the t case that is impossible to divorce all the time! anyhow. i recently hurt my trans. i think i chipped a gear in reverse. problem is i dont know what the trans is. now i found on this fourm pictures of merc trans. i am pretty sure it is the early cast iron flat back from a 220 or 240d. as forced picture shows in one of these posts. so where do i find parts for it? and does this particular trans have a common name so i can order parts? thanks. also second question. in a normal 85 300d what is the rear end ratio and what does the actual stock tire physically measure? the reason i ask is becasue im running 35 inch tires with a 4.10 rear. i would like to gear this a little lower than its designed to run but i dont know where to start. and if anyone has any thoughts on the matter how strong are these cast iron transmissions? thanks a million in advance. I absolutely fell in love with these motors and cant wait to help anyone i can with what i learned and my previous knowledge

Regarding the '85 rear transmission ratio. It's a 2.88 and tires are 195 70 R14, which translates to 24.7 inch diameter.

04-12-2011, 07:38 AM #7I could only see a small portion of the transmission. But it looks like a w115 220D or 240D transmission. 716.002 (mb part number 1152604201) or 716.003 respectively.

04-12-2011, 12:14 PM #8I guess I'm gonna have to scrap this tranny and find one that I can get posters for. Thank you delivery nozzle. Calling it the 716.002 was the best answer I got. Still didnt help locate anything though. But thank you

If not that one, you can get a later w123 chassis 240D 716.005 transmission. It should work with little or no setup modifications.
