08-13-2014, 05:21 PM #1Hello I've just acquired a landrover 90 with bad engine. Thinking on changing it to a 606 with a few upgrades. Has anyone on here any experience with the 6 speed gearbox fitted to the Mercedes ml270cdi? Any ideas on how much hp/ torque they can hold? Thanks
The ML270 CDI was available with a NSG-370 except in the USA.
Here we have that transmission in Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge applications.
Its rated at 370nm (273lbft) thus the "370" in its name.
I don't know how far they can be pushed before breaking but I personally wouldn't use one behind a 606 or even my 2.8L CRD.
I posted a link to a BMW GS6-53 6-speed in the FS section. It doesn't bolt up to a 606 or have a married transfer case option but is rated at 530nm. The guy wants $500 obo.

08-14-2014, 02:58 AM #3Engine is limited to 370nm with manual trans... Probably for a reason.
'Just' make a belhousing adapter plate!
Installed:
OM606/722.6, big IC, W220 brakes.
Planned:
DIY manifold, compound, 722.6 controller, built IP.
[i]Less rust.. [/i]
Use 606 FW/pressure plate
use LR clutch disk
good to go
You will spend hte most time measuring everything

08-15-2014, 08:09 AM #6The 606 bell pattern is listed here, pull the LR transmission and have it measured. Fiarly easy for a machine shop to make an adapter (probably)
