Well I am on the hunt for a 5 speed gasser, cast iron style. I am hopeful the internals will swap over. However I found an interesting AMG picture:

It does not have to be a g@sser, the euro 240D/TD and 300D had the 5-speed as an option.

04-18-2008, 09:48 PM #8I am looking at a 190E 5spd car and wondering if I can bolt up a 603 or 602 motor to this trans. I know I will need a flywheel but will the rest bolt in?
Thanks Dave
I didn't think the nose was long enough for an I6...
The 190E's appeal to me since it's a smaller/lighter car than a W124...
I just hope the rest of the 190E is just as nearly bulletproof as a W124 - which have a good reputation as being built very well.

Yup - the infamous 'dieselboost' video of the black/red cars featured on that site is what got me going on the OM606 craze in the first place. If only my Finnish skills were better - I could more easily interact with the gentlemen who own those cars.

The best deal of all. It cost me $92.24 total!
I even happened to catch a 50% off everything sale! Thats, $82.48 off of an already dirt cheap price AND I can still get $35 back in core returns. Now, there is always a down side to everything. Unfortunately its in the transmission... its stuck in 4th gear.
No worries though, even if I get a complete rebuild, it will still be much cheaper and a more complete set than importing the parts overseas. Damn I'm glad I went to the parts yard instead of sleeping!
A question for Randy since he already has a 5-speed in his 300TD: What is the exact front driveshaft length needed for it to work and which one did you use? I think the 280E DS will be close but I'm not 100% on that.

Welcome to the site!
T5's aren't known for being the most stout 5-speeds out there...OEM ratings are only around 300ft-lbs. They can be beefed up to handle around 500ft-lbs...but a superturbo Merc would be beyond that with ease.
Which bolt patterns do they offer?
I didn't see anything on their (slow loading) site for a Mercedes bellhousing bolt pattern...
The folks in Finland/Sweden have been putting GM TH-350's and TH-400's behind Volvo engines for a while...I wonder who did their bellhousing adapters for them?

well, long story short, i would really like a manual in the car if I am going to build a superdiesel out of it. I am do not know as much as I want about these cars, and I am still learning. The general plan so far would be to send the injection pump to mynä diesel and get an hx 35 turbo on the car, beyond that I dont know what else to do.

The 5 speed manuals that will bolt up to your OM603 are much easier to find than the ones that bolt up to the 617.

I know its a rare box but I can still spend half that importing one directly from Germany/UK/France.
On the plus side, winmutt is going to take it so it won't be going to waste.
I also bought a brand new 1981 Mercedes Spec Manual for $50. It has Body numbers, drivetrain numbers, body weights, torque specs, dimensions, alignment specs and most everything under the sun in a 3x5 book. Its pretty much everything in the euro/us W116, W123, R107 and W126 engine and body manuals except the R&R steps. I'm amazed nobody has ever talked about these extremely handy little books, there is one for every year and covers every model made in that year.

I got with Mike from Stu Ritter's shop and its not good news. It looks like the tranny has been in/through water for some time. Most of the gears are heat blued, the bearings have rust and the #4 fork is bent but the case is fine.
Total estimate to rebuild: $2000 after parts, labor and taxes!
I know its a rare box but I can still spend half that importing one directly from Germany/UK/France.
On the plus side, winmutt is going to take it so it won't be going to waste.
I also bought a brand new 1981 Mercedes Spec Manual for $50.

winmutt pics?He has several more, especially the 81 year. Call Mark at (303) 698-2431 and see if he is willing to sell more.

IMHO, this is the book every MB junkie should have. Each book edition covers every passenger car model MB sold the previous two years (1979-1980 for the 1981 book).

winmutt FI is your tranny newer or older? I just noticed that the bellhousing on my 4spds is removable!
Its an older Getrag, one of the first MB used. The bell is cast as part of the body.

I've pretty much given up on a 5-speed and sold all my accessories (shifter, driveshaft, etc) since I got a killer deal freshly rebuilt 4-speed. I'll probably swap in a 3.07 and be happy with that.

9:34. Predictable but worth the drive. When the man said *TWO* 5 speeds and one was busted and both were cheap, I should have known better, 4+R != 5!!!!

I can't believe I passed up a 190e 5 speed last time I was at the yard. I didn't know it could be used on diesels. D'oh!

Only on the 1986+ models.
That sucks about the 4+R, too many people are trying to pull that trick now. Either its ignorance or the word on 5-speed rarity has spread that far and they are trying to take advantage of it.
